Julia was a great host. She was so prompt in answering my communications that I thought she could read my mind - it was as though her replies came before I sent my questions! She graciously accommodated our arrival time even though it put pressure on her own schedule. She and her roommates were friendly and respectful of our privacy and we felt comfortable in their home.
The room is exactly as pictured - HUGE especially for Brooklyn, on the 5th floor of a loft building with an elevator. Another reviewer wrote that it was noisy; to us it seemed normal for a big city, nothing that earplugs and an eye mask couldn't handle. We slept great on the comfortable, firm memory foam queen bed. If you're coming to Brooklyn, to this lovely neighborhood convenient to shopping, dining, and travel, you can expect and accommodate street sounds.
Another plus: a great shower!
