Althea is a great host. Comunication with her is very easy and she truly does her best to make you feel welcome and at home. She even managed to provide parking for us in the busy street when we first arrived. The location of the apartment is very convenient, close to Nostrand Av metro station. The property itself is a typical old brownstone house with a somewhat vintage decoration. Although it does provide wifi and xfinity tv, do not expect any other modern features. It is also important to note that you will need to climb a steep set of stairs so it is not adequate for elderly persons or people with reduced movility. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in catching the true multicultural Brooklyn vibe while at the same time being able to visit Manhattan after a not-too-long train ride.
