Johanna is a very generous and thoughtful host and everything about the booking went very smoothly. She even checked-in during our stay to assure there was nothing we might need. It's obvious she cares and wants to provide a pleasant experience for her guests -- and it works! The biggest plus for us was how convenient the studio location is for walking to restaurants or places of interest in the Brooklyn neighborhoods plus very close to the subway for reaching other parts of the city. Since we aren't urban dwellers, we found the street noise pretty disturbing at ground level, especially at night, but maybe that wouldn't bother others who are used to the sounds of a big city.
