Erika's apartment was everything we needed for our stay in New York:
*Close to restaurants and stores (I was especially excited as I have a gluten allergy and there were plenty of places around to eat at and buy groceries)
*close to subway (Franklin Ave is an express stop too so this made it quick and easy to get to Manhatten)
*clean and comfortable apartment with comfy bed (I was concerned with it being a fold out - but it was fabulous)
Erika herself was always available via email for us to contact and she was very welcoming and flexible considering our plane was delayed and it was after midnight when we arrived. She was a gracious and helpful host who has thought about everything for her guests. There is a draw full of helpful information, books about the city and she continued to give us "hot tips" about events that were on around Brooklyn and Manhatten.
Cons (if u can call them that)
*a little noisy (ambulances etc but it is to be expected. I wear earplugs so didn't bother me too much. Plus we were usually exhausted anyway from our days of adventure)
*pillows are quite soft so if you're not used to that be prepared to use two (which there was plenty of spares and a comforter etc in the cupboard)
We couldn't have been happier staying here for 2 weeks, it was perfect for us.
Thanks.
