We had a wonderful time in the apartment of Katerina. We got all the needed information before we got there. The apartment was nice and comfortable. Katerina looked that we had everything and that we felt like at home. The distance to Manhatten by subway (A-Line) is ok, and we often used the bus from Utica Subway Station to "our" Hancock Street because we were very tired in the evening after the long days in the city. In the neigbourhood the people are very friendly and we never felt unsecure, neither at night. The first day it was a little too cold for us, and so Katerina came in the apartment and turned the oven up. The downside was that the steam oven knocked strongly (also at night).
Anyway - we had a wonderfull time and we can recommend the apartment to everybody. If we'll come back one day to Brooklyn we'll probably try to get Katerinas apartment again. Thank you, Katerina!
