Frances was a fantastic host. She must have answered 100 questions for us and was always friendly about it. The apartment is in a nice neighborhood with cute restaurants and coffee shops. We always felt safe. It is a studio apartment on the ground floor. It's spacious and has everything you could want or need in your home. Including a Keurig machine with different flavored coffees(my fav!). Also the apartment is near two different train stations. One is a 5 minute walk and the other was about 8 minutes. We were visiting ground zero in 15 minutes after we got on the train. So for us the price and the convenience was well worth staying in brooklyn vs manhattan. Thanks Frances for everything! We'll be back!
