It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I arrived at Melissa's adorable garden apartment just 7 days before NYC was declared a coronavirus hotspot. I was scheduled to stay at her place for a month while working on a dream job... and then my job was cancelled. Melissa was very cooperative in dealing with Airbnb and making sure that we could cancel the reservation and that I could see a refund for the unused time. I am very grateful. The apartment has everything you need for a longer stay and is situated in the fantastic neighborhood of Carroll Gardens. I wished I could have stayed longer!!!! Best wishes and a million thanks to Melissa and her family.
