I was lucky enough to stay with Debbie for a month and couldnt have asked for a better hostess. She travels a lot herself and is helpful with everything that may come up. Aside from that she has fantastic taste, the way the apartment is decorated will make you feel at home immediately. The area is nice, too, there are a few great juice bars around and it is very close to beautiful Prospect Park as well as the Brooklyn Museum. If you need to go to into Manhattan there are several subway stops within walking distance, or you could just stay in and have a great time at Debbies!
