Emily is a perfect host! She was so kind and friendly and responded to al our messages pretty much immediately. We were even able to do laundry for an extra 10 dollars with her cleaner, which was really nice.
The apartment is huge for Brooklyn! A lot of space for two people. The neighborhood has lots of food places, and it’s just a five minute walk to the Prospect Park. We went there a lot even in the winter, I imagine it’s even better in the warmer weather.
One thing to be aware of is that during the day it can get a bit noisy in the apartment because Emily, Sam, and their small children live upstairs. But the children are active only during the day, when most guests would probably be out anyway, and even when we heard the kids it didn’t bother us at all, they are sweet.
Definitely recommend this place to other travelers who want to explore Brooklyn and Manhattan!
