We absolutely loved Chiara's place and had a great experience! Chiara herself was a great host, letting us drop off our bags earlier than check-in time and giving us tips to find a grocery store and things to do that first day. The place was exactly as described and was perfect for our needs! We loved having the washer and dryer so that we didn't have to pack as many clothes. It was a quick walk to two subway lines, so we could easily get into Manhattan whenever we wanted to! We enjoyed the sense of community in this part of Brooklyn, with people out on their stoops listening to music and gathering as families on the weekend. We definitely give Chiara's place 5 stars!
