Alicia is a super kind person! When my plans changed and I arrived two days later than anticipated she was very sweet about it. When I arrived I got welcomed by Calum, her property manager, who showed me around the area and made sure I felt comfortable at Alicias place. The place itself was exactly as shown in the pictures. I basically had a whole floor to myself and no one else was around.
To get into Manhattan or other parts of Brooklyn mostly took around 1 hour by public transport. The easiest way would be to take a bus, metro stations are approx. 10-20 Min away by foot. In the area itself I didn't really do much, so I can't say a lot about that. It didn't feel like I was near the city or a more lively area of Brooklyn. I had booked the airbnb for 2 months but decided to move because I needed to get closer to work and Alicia was so kind to change the dates for me. If you're looking for a place to yourself in a quiet area I can definitely recommend Alicias place!
