The apartment was great, a small studio apartment that was more than sufficient for our needs. A large, very comfortable bed and a good kitchen area. We never made anything, but there were more than enough facilities, with a table to eat at also. There was tv with cable and good air conditioning. A good shower and ironing facilities.
The hosts were there to meet us and were very helpful. We didn't see them again, but were clear that they were around if we needed any help. They even contacted us the day before leaving to offer to book a taxi for the airport if needed.
There isn't much around the apartment, but there are two subway stations nearby, both on the G line and it was very easy to get around Brooklyn or get to Manhattan.
Though there was nothing of interest in the immediate vicinity, we walked down to Fort Greene for breakfast most mornings. There was no end of places to go and we also went to the Brooklyn Flea. Olea was fantastic for breakfast and The General Greene not too bad either.
The apartment was definitely good value and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
