Claudia was an excellent hostess. Although she wasn't able to meet us in person, she left us detailed instructions and tips on the surrounding area. Claudia was even so considerate to leave us with a few games, books and movies for our two boys to enjoy. Her brownstone was quite spacious, charming and convenient, and the surrounding Cobble Hill neighborhood was fantastic. There was so much to do and see within just a few blocks. And when we wanted to venture into the city (which was often), it was very easy to do so via the F train's Bergen Street station just a couple blocks away. We could be in the Village within 15 minutes and in Midtown within 25 minutes. Thanks so much! We hope to be back next year!
