Yes! What they said! Dani's place is the perfect New York bolt-hole, and possibly the best accommodation I've stayed in. I highly recommend this choice.
The apartment is spotless – I could instantly begin using the kitchen and bathroom without wincing – warm (January), bright, secure, quiet, and comfortable.
I am finding it difficult to write this review because we seemed to slip into this accommodation with such ease that it feels too familiar – and I think this tells you something.
Dani is the type of person who, I suspect, can do anything. She does everything with grace and competence, and strikes a perfect balance between genuine friendliness and professionalism. From the moment you book or simply make an enquiry with Dani, she makes you feel confident about the arrangement, and continues to provide perfectly timed and relevant information throughout your stay.
Dani and James combine a steadfast commitment to social justice and the environment with an easygoing approach. They’ve carved out a tranquil niche in a big, tough city, and it’s a privilege to experience a little piece of that.
Park Slope is a good area, with a mix of amenities, including excellent restaurants. The apartment is close to the subway station. Manhattan is a short ride away, as is the rest of Brooklyn, which should not be viewed as a second-best to Manhattan!
