First and foremost I want to say how quick Louise was with her responses to every question my husband and I had. This, in my opinion is a great quality of a good host.
When we first entered the studio apartment, we were a little taken aback, (even though Louise had mentioned the size in her description) to see how tiny it was ! I am an Architect and I pride myself on having designed a tiny home (250 sq.ft.) , I was amazed at the ingenuity of Louise's apartment. She has made the place work beautifully. Everything fits well within the design. We had a lot of stuff with us but then with some adjustment we managed pretty well and the apartment grew on us.
Louise had thought of every little thing that you can think of to make the guests feel comfortable and well taken care of , right down to the light and noise blocking window shades and curtains, which was a very useful thing as my husband is a very light sleeper and those served us well. She even provided snacks, coffee, tea, spices, oil and all the basic requirements in the little kitchenette ! The WIFI worked great. She had information about local attractions, stores and eateries close by. The location was perfect for us. The check in and check out was smooth, hassle free. When we had a small problem , she had someone come over and fix it within minutes. That is real service. I applaud her for the care and the hospitality she has shown us.
I think it goes without saying that if we go back to Brooklyn again, which is most certain, we will definitely look up her place first. In my opinion, she really is a super host! I recommend her place. Just make sure that you do not take too many bags and that you go there with someone you love because the apartment is meant for just two people, who will be in very close proximity to each other. :) You will be glad you booked her place. It is indeed a rare find.
