I'm so glad I chose Kaitlyn's place for my first visit to NYC and I ended up spending a lot of my time in the apartment rather than facing the bitter winter outside! The apartment is great value: for your money, you get an excellent base from which to explore the city (connections to Manhattan are really nearby and I often travelled back & forth a couple times in a day!) and I personally loved the opportunity to discover and fall in love with Brooklyn - especially Kaitlyn's local neighbourhood. With wonderful local supermarkets and cheap ethnic take-out food options, you don't need to worry about eating here if you're on a tight budget. Kaitlyn has brilliant taste aesthetically and the apartment is a pleasure to relax in. I frequently got the place to myself and was able to cook/take long showers/chill on the sofa without feeling uncomfortable. Kaitlyn communicated clearly with me and the check-in was super easy. She was also really accommodating with my check-out, letting me store my luggage somewhere as I had a late flight and didn't want to drag it around with me all day. I would definitely recommend to any solo travellers who are looking to have an authentic taste of Brooklyn lifestyle for a really good price :-)
