From the time we booked our stay Alyssa was a wonderful host. The communication regarding location and check-in was very clear. The arrangements for getting us the apartment keys via the mail was flawless. She checked in with us via text twice during our weekend stay. The apartment was just the right size for a couple. It was very clean and exactly as she described. Although the apartment has everything you need for cooking we didn't make any meals. There are numerous local restaurants for food choices of all kinds. The neighborhood felt safe at night and we had no issues when returning in the evening after full days of activities. We will certainly stay at Alyssa's place when visiting Brooklyn in the future.
