The apartment was lovely and although we didn't meet Katerina she was very friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble.
The apartment was on a leafy street of beautiful brownstone buildings and the subway was a 5 minute walk.
The apartment itself was very clean and well-stocked with a nice little welcome gift waiting for us in the refrigerator.
Overall we had a lovely time and it was nice not to be staying in the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.
The Brooklyn area also has a huge amount to offer in terms of galleries, cinemas, theatre, restaurants and bars, which you would miss if you stuck to the Manhattan area.
