Allen and Irena were simply wonderful hosts and great ambassadors to New York and Brooklyn. They let us keep our bags in the apartment before check-in and were very easy to communicate with. They provided us with a map of the area with local stuff like laundry, restaurants, etc. The apartment itself was very spacious as far as New York goes -- a room that size would normally be hundreds of dollars a night. Very close to trains and within a mile of Bedford Ave. Just a really nice place and really nice people. Thanks so much. Highly recommended.
