Sarah and Jens were very welcoming and very helpful. Gave us directions to which nearby subway stations were best for each of our destinations, both in Brooklyn and in Manhattan and to JFK airport. One and a half short blocks to nearest subway station. Short rides to anywhere in Manhattan. Half a block walk to wonderful eateries, coffee shops, bakery, small grocery stores, other colorful ethnic shops. They gave us suggestions about where to eat and shop in the neighborhood, and sights to see farther away in Brooklyn. The apartment was immaculate. Private entrance. The beds were very comfortable. Full, well equipped kitchen. Cool, tree-shaded private area just outside the back door. A shady, tree lined street. Our host was always very quick to respond to our texts and calls. Will definitely stay there again on our next trip to NYC and Brooklyn.
