What a lovely couple Alexis and George are! I shared their home for a few days and I was made to feel very welcome. I spent most days commuting into Manhattan, but did manage a wander around the neighbourhood - most areas were very nice and I felt very safe. Their home is a brownstone in a residential street, and they have every amenity you could want. I would be very happy to stay there again when I'm in Brooklyn. Alexis was also very understanding and flexible when I was later to arrive than expected. Thanks Alexis!
