We spent a week in Dikla's beautiful apartment in DUMBO, NYC. The apartment met and exceeded the description and our expectations on all fronts.

We are a family of five, two adults and three children.

The flat was very quiet, as there is not much road traffic on the area. The bridge overpasses are noisy, especially when trains are moving - but we didn't hear them almost at all inside the flat.

The flat was furnished as in pictures. Both bedrooms had excellent beds and enough space for all our stuff. The living room was compact, but had enough space for three children to play around. The kitchen had everything we needed, including kettles - we cooked a couple of times. The bathroom was compact, but worked very well for us. And there was always enough hot water - not that common in the US.

Everything was impeccably clean, and all sheets and towels were like new. WIFI worked like a charm and there were more than enough channels in the television - I've never seen so many channels devoted to ice hockey alone...

We had a few questions before the trip, and always got quick answers from Dikla. She also accepted a few parcels from various netshops and hid them to a closet, as requested - it was Christmas time and we didn't want our children to find out the presents too soon.

When we arrived, Dikla met us at the flat and after welcoming us to NYC, DUMBO and the flat, gave brief instructions how to use the equipment and answered all our questions.

We continued to communicate through WhatsApp during the stay. All our questions were answered and requests handled in no time.

The neighbourhood, DUMBO, is very inspiring, lot of arts, quirky cafés, interesting shops, etc. It is going through a gentrification process, so expect a lot raw edges, but also very interesting people (in a good sense).

There are a couple good grocery stores around the corner, a wine shop, and a pharmacy - so the basics are well covered. DUMBO is also conveniently close to southern Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn. There is also a good children play area in a park nearby and a lot of outdoor sport facilities like a kilometer away. There are also good restaurants and delis, all in walking distance from the flat.

All in all, I can strongly recommend this apartment.
