I stayed for 3 nights at Erika's studio and found everything was great : the apartment is not only clean, tidy and convenient. It has a singluar atmosphere which makes you feel really comfortable. You can sense that Erika put her heart into it. Erika is a great host, communicative, helpful but not intrusive. The neighborhood is ideal if you want to discover Brooklyn and Manhattan (30 min by subway). In terms of shops and restaurants you can find everything you need at walking distance. I will certainly be back at Erika's studio as I thought it was the perfect place for me to stay.
