Stefano was an excellent host - easy to contact before we arrived and very friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. He met us when we got there, showed us around the house, gave us some useful hints about good places to eat in the area and even offered to cook Italian food for us one evening.

The place itself is lovely. I stayed there with my girlfriend and her sister for two weeks and we totally fell in love with both the house and the location. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, light and airy and it was perfect for three people (maybe even more). The bathrooms were great and the kitchen was so well equipped that we were able to host a dinner party for 11 people on our last night.

Park Slope as an area is also a great place to stay. The apartment is close to all of the restaurants, bars, shops and supermarkets on 5th Avenue and 7th Avenue; it's a 15 minute walk from Prospect Park (where I ran every day) and there are also some really cool places not too far away like the amazing pie shop 'Four and Twenty Blackbirds' (check out the salted, caramel apple pie!) or the 'Rosewater' cafe where we went a couple of times for Brunch. Finally, the house is just around the corner from the Union St. Subway station which means that it is reasonably easy (depending on the trains) to get into Manhattan.

All in all, we had a great experience here and will definitely come back the next time we are in New York.
