Dena is a lovely host and very accomodating. We arrived a bit tired and confused. Theresa, a friend of Dena, helped us with the check-in and gave us an introduction to the apartement and the neighborhood. Dena's guide (online and as a on-location hardcopy with menus of the recommended spots ) is superb. The recommendations for eating out that we followed were very good. On departure day, Dena extended the check-out time for us. This gained us some precious time and an the opportunity to pay the Brooklyn Bridge a farewell visit. The apartement was exactly as advertised - very clean and comfortable. Everything is in working order. The shower has ample pressure and we used it heavily to get some relieve from the tremendous heat and humidity of NYC. The towels are fabulous. We were a party of three and did not miss a thing. It sounds like a clichee, but Dena's place felt like home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. There are a lot of nice shops and restaurants just around the corner. Two Metro-stations are not more than a 10 minute walk away. It's an easy and short trip to Manhattan and equally important - back to Brooklyn. We can wholeheartily recommend Dena and her place. Thank you very much, Dena!
