Wendy's place was great. Boerum Hill is an amazing part of NYC, anyone who stays in Manhattan is crazy. Before arriving Wendy was prompt in replying to emails and calls, and when we arrived she greeted us with the apartment being exactly as described and shown. The place was clean and was stocked with plenty of books, guides and pamphlets on the city. It's in one of the nicest parts of Brooklyn (anyone familiar with London think Shoreditch meets Notting Hill) and was 5 mins from 2 dozen great restaurants, a dozen excellent bars, and two large supermarkets (I'd recommend Brooklyn Fare). It was a safe area and close to the Barclays Centre for a Nets game, and we felt very safe walking around at night. The A train direct to Manhattan took around 15 minutes from a station a 10min walk away, and there are other lines a shorter walk away too. If we went back to NYC we'd look to book with Wendy first, excellent all round.
