I traveled to New York for 4 days with my husband, mother and teenage brother. Assiati and her family were wonderful, charming and friendly hosts who greeted us whenever we ran into them, made themselves available for questions, and were very attentive to our needs. They treated us more like friends than strangers.
The apartment really felt like home when we stayed there. Everything was clean and comfortable, the location was quiet yet close to local restaurants and cafes, local shops, and the subway which took us to Manhattan quickly. When we were hungry or wanted to go out for drinks we did not have to go far or spend a lot of extra money because of the quality restaurants and cafes recommended to us within walking distance, and the grocery stores that were close when we wanted to eat "at home".
I actually experienced a minor foot injury right before taking the trip, and Assiati was able to give me advice on more quiet locations for sightseeing where I would not have to rush and put strain on my feet. The apartment was so comfortable that it was actually helpful to my recovery process because I was able to return and relax when I needed to.
My family and I were able to experience Manhattan like we planned, and also experience the charm of their Brooklyn neighborhood, which added a whole new dimension to our trip because there were so many interesting things to see, and the family made it a relaxing experience for us.
I plan on returning to New York and will definitely try to stay there again, and I would wholeheartedly recommend their place to anyone else.
