The apartment was neat and tidy, there were lists of places to eat (coffee shops, breakfast, lunch and dinner recommendations within walking distance). Alina wasn't there when I arrived but she arranged for a friend of hers to meet me and go over everything in the apartment. Towels were laid out, fresh linens on the bed...it was great.
The apartment is cozy and perfect for exploring Brooklyn and area and is ideal to crash at the end of a busy day of walking, shopping and eating in the area. Close to the G train which can take you uptown to downtown.
