Uri was a great host. He responded very quickly to all of our questions, and provided a map and tips for the neighborhood, as well as instructions for appliances, recycling, etc. Coffee and cream were available for us to start with which was very welcome! The apartment is spacious and comfortable, in a charming older building in a very nice neighborhood. There are lots of apartments in the building and the residents and staff we encountered were all friendly and helpful. We arrived during an early spring so the flowering trees in front of the building were beautiful. We enjoyed the diverse eating and shopping options nearby, and there was very easy access to the subway and also the beautiful Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and the Brooklyn museum. All in all it was a great location and a great experience.
