We really felt welcomed at Devi's home. The communication was excellent and fast from the get go - our flight was over 1hr late but Devi's friend Jess was fine with it and waited at the house to greet us as Devi had to go out. It's a charming house and well run. Aircon was adequate for the unexpected heatwave. Park Slope is a great neighbourhood of Brooklyn, in that it feels very safe, was easy to access the subway, and all amenities are nearby including good cafes, bars and grocers. Can highly recommend local venues Cafe Roots, Cafe Couleur, and the excellent jazz wine bar Barbes, a total gem.
