Sam and I had a wonderful stay with Alex and Lorelei, and a fantastic time exploring NY. Their apartment is great, as is the neighbourhood, and I would not hesitate recommending it to anyone. You get the best of both worlds - very easy and quick access to Manhattan whilst experiencing and enjoying all that Brooklyn has to offer (which is also significant). A huge thanks too to them both for being such great hosts ... we will miss the great coffee and equally great conversation. We look forward to staying in touch, and welcoming them to Berlin at some point. Don't hesitate to book your NY stay with them ...
