I enjoyed my stay in the apartment kindly offered to me via Airbnb. While choosing the apartment, I was guided by the necessity to be in that particular area for some period, and did not give much thought to what kind of an apartment it was going to be. And I was pleasantly surprised when I found it to be extremely clean, cozy, with all small things at hand that I might need, even some books to read at leisure. Yana, the host, was very attentive. Even more attentive turned out to be her father. He did some adjustments personally for me (like when I complained it was too cold for me in the bathroom, he immediately installed a curtain in the window, to keep out cold air seeping through the glass frame). There is a small garden in the apartment backyard, and Yana' father suggested I could spend some time there if I wished, and while the weather permitted, I truly enjoyed it. There was even a Russian TV program, so that I could feel even more at home. The apartment is conveniently located within a couple of minutes from the Subway entrance, and a block away there are all kinds of stores, the bank, several cafes, and many other convenient places.
My good feelings about the apartment were confirmed when my five-year old grandson arrived to visit me. On entering, he exclaimed: "oh, what a cozy place! Granny, you are lucky!"
I am grateful to the hosts for the time I spent there, and II I need to stay in Brooklyn again, later, I sure will try to get to this address again. And my sincere gratitude to the apartment hosts and my best wishes to them.
