Nathalie's brownstone truly is eden in the hood. What makes it even more special is that Nathalie is an easy going, friendly and welcoming host, who very much leaves you to it, but you can call on her any time for a chat or for help.

The apartment is stunning and is beautifully decorated in an antique style, with every attention to detail. It it were a hotel, it would definitely be one of the best suites. The sunny terrace is a massive bonus, it's lovely to sit out there and have your morning coffee, while everything you might need has been thought of. It's a home from home.

The neighbourhood is great, real people, friendly and helpful. There's loads to check out nearby, further down Fulton Street. When I was here there was a great art fair, and Habana Outpost, with outdoor film screenings and frozen margaritas is a must. Manhatten is a 20 minute sub ride away, but Times Square will feel so fake after you've stayed here, I guarantee it.

Would highly recommend Nathalie as a host and her brownstone as a place to stay in New York. I had a wonderful time. Thanks Nathalie.
