Eada is a great host, and her place has all the charm of New York with the added bonus of having a backyard and being situated on a quiet street. Check-in was quick and seamless, and she was quick with responding to messages. Her apartment is spacious, and the kitchen is equipped with all the little things you need. We had great weather, so were able to take advantage of her backyard space as well. Also, we both agreed the bed was incredibly comfortable.

It's a 15-minute walk to the subway, then a 30-ish minute ride to Manhattan depending on the time of day. Although it was a bit longer to get to major NY attractions than we expected, we found it nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of Manhattan at the end of the day to a quiet space. Brooklyn itself has so much to offer, and it's quite accessible from here.

We ate at Peaches Hothouse - amazing fried chicken, and had a few local craft beers and met friendly locals at Dynaco Bar on Bedford Ave. I highly recommend these two places if you're looking for food/pubs in the area.

Thanks for your hospitality, Eada!
