We had a few lovely days in Renée's flat. She was an amazing host! Although, we saw her only briefly at the end of our stay, she had managed to prepare everything perfectly for our stay. Everything we needed was there - the bed was comfy, the furniture made us feel at home immediately, and everthing was super clean. The flat is located in a calm and green street and the next tram station is not even 10 minutes away. It is very easy to reach Manhattan with the A-line from here. But more importantly, the flat and its surroundings are wonderful for gathering enough energy to sustain the busy life of Manhattan. Also all the other lovely places in Brooklyn can be easily reached from Renée's flat (btw, one should take more time to discover Brooklyn).
We can't wait to come to Brooklyn and Renée's flat again!
