I have recently stayed at Suzette's Big New Lush Apartment, and I feel so blessed to have experienced New York for the first time in my life on that street, in that flat, having dinner by candle light and planning for the following day with a little help of the wi-fi.

The bedroom is exactly like you see it, and won't shrink when you get there, the living space has a big L shape sofa and a big TV, the kitchen is spacious, the shower is a Godsent, and when you thought that was it, there is a table for dining and talking in a space all of its own, in effect the dining room.

People from the street are friendly, they almost all say Good Morning when they see you first thing, there is a big supermaxi market round the corner, and a launderette, and the station is a five minute walk if you stroll like me. Two minutes for everyone else.

I will never forget it. Suzette was always there for queries, is very generous and certainly has the personal touch. Don't miss this GREAT Brooklyn experience, I'm sure glad I didn't!
