Althea's descriptions of what her property offers are very accurate and there are other attributes that she doesn't mention that are great touches. A great example is a book that she provides that pretty much answers ANYthing you might have questions about either in Brooklyn or in New York. We tried several of her local food recommendations and they all were wonderful experiences. She was very attentive to our needs without ever being imposing - so it made the experience memorable. We were a large group (5 + an infant) so getting 2-3 hotel rooms in Manhattan seemed cost prohibitive. It was my family's first experience in a Brooklyn walk-up vs. a Manhattan hotel, and given the size of our group this ended up being a tremendous experience AS WELL AS a great value. Highly recommend.
