Alison and Dane are excellent communicators, they responded quickly to all our messages and left a folder of information (useful contact numbers, taxis, restaurants etc) in the apartment. Dane was there to let us in even when we arrived unexpectedly early.

The apartment is exactly as it is in the photos. It is super characterful, spotless, quiet, spacious, comfortable and really well appointed. The wi-fi is quick and easy to log in to. Well located for JFK and La Guardia airports. If we return to NY I would be keen to stay here again.

We felt very safe in the neighbourhood. The C train is a short walk way and an easy ride into Manhatten. The hosts recommendations for food were great, especially Speedy Romeo (pizza) and the Parliament Democratic Club (morning coffee and croissants just across the road). Big supermarket minutes walk away. There were several nearby bars that we would have loved to have visited if we didn't have our four-year-old with us. It is a 20 minute walk to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn public library, both well worth a visit.
