Apartment was as in the pictures. Did not meet the hosts in person but they were responsive via phone and email on our queries. Good location in Park Slope in Brooklyn, in a good residential neighbourhood and gives you a feeling of living as a local. Good metro connections, trips to Manhattan took 40-45 mins both Midtown and Downtown depending on the train line taken, there are metro stops nearby to connect with both. There are several breakfast places nearby, suggested by the hosts, and we can recommend Couleur Cafe (5 mins away) and Rose Water (20 mins walking away). So this apartment is good for exploring NY.
