Warm and welcoming, Julia met us at the door to her home, showed us into the apartment and gave us excellent advice for our travel in New York and stay in the neighborhood. We were in the city for long days of research, so this place with a comfy bedroom, cozy living room and kitchen was perfect, all ready with coffee and rolls, and brochures for the best museums and most delicious places to eat - or order food delivered. We followed Julia's recommendation the first night and had delicious Indian food, and the next day shopped at the Flatbush Food Coop so we could have a big breakfast each morning and pack lunches for our working days. We enjoyed meeting Julia's family and telling them about our research. Our whole stay was lovely and I hope to return.
