Thomas and Gaby were great hosts. They were very accommodating with our check in, gave us lots of handy tips for getting around and local places to visit, and provided some groceries to get us started.
When we first arrived in the area, it wasn't quite what we were expecting. We were imagining a similar vibe to Williamsburg and Brooklyn Heights. But that was simply due to a lack of research on our part. The apartment itself is lovely, and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. The area is also easy to navigate and an easy commute to Manhattan.
In summary, it's a great spot to base yourself for a short New York visit.
