Staying in Monica's apartment next to Prospect Park, Brooklyn, was my first experience of Airbnb, and based on my stay I shall definitely do it again!

Monica was a very considerate host. She prepared a detailed booklet of interesting places to visit in the different neighbourhoods of Brooklyn. Although we already had a guidebook, through Monica's advice we discovered some great places to eat and drink in Crown Heights, DUMBO and downtown Brooklyn.

Monica has a one-bedroom apartment, and guests stay in the lounge (with very clean kitchen attached) on her futon. While this may sound lacking in privacy, she is a very discreet host and allows guests the run of this space while they're there.

Overall, I thoroughly recommend Monica's place: great and authentic neighbourhood (Prospect-Lefferts Gardens) with a cool apartment and a host who's really interested in sharing her insider knowledge of Brooklyn. Thanks, Monica!
