Elma is a wonderful host - very easy going, very welcoming - she made me feel right at home! I stayed at Elma's due to work but the area is very calm with everything you need just a walk away. Lots if hidden gems - cafe's, restaurants, bakeries, fresh produce - and the community is very friendly and helpful.
Elma's flat is just beautiful. Her style is one of simplicity with unique decor and a wonderful collection of books! The room was perfect for my needs, spacious, very clean, and with a very comfortable bed. If I return to Brooklyn it is very likely I will stay with Elma again!
