Hardy was the perfect host. The apartment was clean. Their descriptions were accurate. The space was worth the discounted rate. My partner and I had a really enjoyable time visiting NYC. The comfort of being able to return to a home-like, very Brooklyn-esque first-floor apartment was the proverbial icing. Hardy didn't hover, had an extra set of keys handy, and was responsive when we did have questions (which were few). I would recommend any listing of Hardy's for other travellers, either new or acquainted with Brooklyn.
