We arrived in Brooklyn 3 hours later than expected, due to some traffic snares, but Michal and Adam were very accommodating. They got us settled in the apartment, greeting us with warm baked bread and cold milk and water in the fridge. It was a beautiful welcoming gesture indicative of their hospitality.

Our hosts shared maps of the neighbourhood, a fabulous list of places to eat and see and subway tips with us (we were less than 100 steps from a subway stop, which was awesome). The apartment was exactly as described - such a cool and quiet retreat from our days trekking around the city. We loved it and would definitely try to stay here again if we venture back to NYC another day.
