We (mom and daughter of 17) enjoyed staying in this appartment Monica and GianCarlo are warm, friendly, easy people.. Everything looks exactly as in the pictures. Well equiped. Easy check in with a code for the keybox. Very clean. Clear requests on paper about what to do before you leave. It is an old house, so you hear yhe sound of Monica's family living upstairs. Twelve minutes walk to the metro, that takes you (with one switch) across the Brooklyn Bridge in 20-25 minutes . (This part of) Brooklyn is so different from Manhattan; it is a quiet family neihgbourhood. Well recommendable.
