Joni was great, and so was her home! Very spacious, clean, and quiet, with everything I needed for my work trip to NYC. Since I was visiting for work, I spent little time in the backyard garden, but it looked wonderful. Big kitchen with plenty of pans if you like to cook. Even though the temperature was in the 90's outside and as humid as it could get, the apartment stayed cool and dry. The neighborhood is full of beautiful plants and large sidewalks, kids playing, very friendly, and a short walk to many other other neighborhoods (like Ft. Greene) if you're looking to explore.
