I stayed at Natalie's place for about 7 weeks for a work stay in NY and really enjoyed it. The room is spacious (with the only downside being that it's very warm bc of central heating), the kitchen is well equipped and it's super interesting browsing through Natalie's extensive book collection or having a chat with her.
Train stops are close by, so the location is a perfect starting point both for exploring Williamsburg and other Brooklyn neighborhoods as well as getting into Manhattan, and the area has lots of nice options for food, coffee and drinks to offer.
Communication with Natalie both before and during my stay has been really smooth. She is a very considerate and friendly host and her cat, K-Faso is so cute :)
