Amanda was a highly hospitable, friendly, laid back and welcoming host, always making herself available to respond to my concerns, as well as my queries about the area throughout my stay. I felt entirely comfortable and relaxed staying in her apartment for a three week period - it was an ideal place to stay in as a young single person who wanted to explore the city, though also needed space to chill out and occasionally work 'from home'. The apartment itself is really chic and beautiful, and fully equipped with almost every amenity you could possibly need on vacation. The bedroom was fantastic - I really felt at home as I could put away all of my items in a wardrobe and chest of draws. Amanda provides her guests with a desk as well as television which, although I didn't use much, was a real bonus. Importantly, I felt really safe returning home late in the evening as the apartment block is on a well lit and lively main street. Amanda's apartment is definitely a place for people who like animals - her dog Roxy is very sweet, always providing a warm and excitable welcome as I arrived home. I highly recommend Amanda's place for both a short and longer stay. Crown Heights is a vibrant, interesting and culturally diverse area. I seriously loved being there - if you want an authentic Brooklyn experience it's definitely the place to be. Best spot in Brooklyn as far as I'm concerned - I wish I could do it all again! I honestly hope I can return soon!
