Eileen's appartent is super-bright an airy, tastefully furnished, feels very comfortable and was the perfect place for my 2-week stay in NYC. There is a really big wardrobe with lots of hangers which is rare to find and very convenient. The kitchen had all I needed, some excellent sharp knives, there is a great, big dining table that was perfect for work and play, the internet is strong, the bed is really mega comfy and the shower has great water pressure - a rare thing here in London! There are lovely big plants that make the place feel very homy. There is air-conditioning for those who need it (I'm less used to it as a European and only had it on once), the block itself is quiet and staying there also felt very safe. A supermarket downstairs has everything you could possibly want and some amazing Mexican specialities on top. A shelf just full of hot sauces - yum! It is close to the G-line (less than 5 mins walk) so you can be in Manhattan in 30-45 mins, an excellent bus to Downtown Brooklyn, and its a 15 min walk to all the cool cafes, bars and restaurants in Fort Greene, just walk down de Kalb. Fort Greene Park itself is lovely, or you can cycle to Prospect Park in 20 mins on a citibike if you want to picnic, chill or excercise - several citibike stations close by.
Communication was easy and Eileen always responded really fast - I had forgotten to take a hair dryer and she just popped by to drop one for me, that was really nice! I was also able to leave my luggage early which was really helpful. A perfect stay and i would definitely stay again, for both work, and pleasure.
