The overnight stay at Alina's home for me was not good. It was very very hot and the apartment had for 2 days no air conditioning. Alina was striving to solve the problem. But in the first 2 nights I stayed in a steam bath. It must be said that the apartment is extremely small. I am tall and wide and that was a problem. In addition, I was on a 4 week trip and had three pieces of luggage. In the apartment is no shelf space for guests. The apartment is full (the refrigerator as well) and you do not know where to stand his stuff. I have in my life (36 years old) have never seen such a small shower cubicle and toilet. I recommend the apartment only for people who have little luggage and no larger than 175cm high.
Positives: Alina is very straightforward, responds quickly to questions. Check in and check out are very simple. The apartment is located in Green Point, everything you need is within a 10 minute walk. For a Brooklyn stay well located. Suboptimal for Manhattan visits: long walk to the subway. For late returnees, the 7 subway had twice (four nights) delay or failed.
I can not recommend the small apartment, unfortunately. I will next time stay directly in Manhattan, in a slightly larger apartment, with storage space for guests and which is not totally adjusted to your own objects. I'm very sorry that I can not write positive.
