Valerie was a great host. She made us feel welcome and told us about places to eat and drink in the neighbourhood. Also, she was flexible about the arrival and the checkout. The apartment was nice, clean and more than big enough for two people. There's a lot of restaurants, bars and cafes in the area. The apartment is in walking distance to both the busy Bedford Avenue in Willamsburg and subway lines that can bring you wherever you want to. We stayed one week, but I wish I could be there for a year.
