We had a great stay at Anna's. She left us a few goodies on arrival and gave instructions on the closest markets so we could get supplies straight away.
The location was perfect for us. Anna's place is a 15 minute walk to the Brooklyn Bridge and to the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge Park, which has amazing views over to Manhattan.
The subway is about a 10 minute walk away with a good selection of lines to take you all over the city.
Anna gave exact instructions to locate her place and with a pin code entrance and self locking door we felt very secure. It was a very quiet building, only on the last day did we bump into another resident. The area was very safe and we felt fine walking back from the subway late at night.
Anna's place felt like home straight away although we struggled for storage of our belongings and a spare shelf etc would have been ideal as we didn't feel comfortable moving any of her stuff around to make space.
The main bedroom bed was very comfortable and has an air conditioner which maintained a good temperature overnight as it was very hot without it.
The spare room with futon was extremely hot to sleep in and after two nights one of us slept on the couch instead. The couch was amazing to sleep on, so if there are a few if you and your staying in summer I would recommend this sleeping arrangement.
The main living area, kitchen and bathroom are great with large windows that let a lot of natural light in.
If we come back to New York which is highly likely as we loved it we would stay at Anna's again.
