Chantal's place is located in a very cool Brooklyn neighborhood which is convenient to public transportation. The apartment is a classic Brooklyn Brownstone which makes you feel like you are a real New Yorker.
The apartment was extremely clean and comfortable. It was also very well equipped with everything you would need for cooking. We purchased fresh homemade pasta and sauce from a neighborhood bakery Chantal recommended and prepared it in the apartment. We had a gourmet meal for less than $20.
The communication with Chantal was very simple and friendly. This is simply a great place to stay if you are coming to New York City. Highly recommended.
