Mary was a fantastic host, especially for myself as a young individual spending time in NY for the first time. She was extremely helpful with explaining the area and giving advice for my stay. She's also the type of person that you will become friends with while there and want to revisit. Bonus with the kitties, they are the sweetest companions to have around. Apartment is extremely spacious and comfortable for a longer stay, consistently clean, a personal bathroom, and nicely decorated. The location is close to the subway for those who plan on making trips to Manhattan, and there are plenty of places near Clinton Hill itself that are great to explore. I'm so glad that I wound up staying with Mary, I couldn't have had a better experience!!
