Very friendly hosts and wonderful room - couldn't have really asked for much more. :) Sheena's Mum, who was there when I arrived, was also absolutely amazing - so altogether I felt very welcome, even travelling alone over the Christmas & New Year's. Having a bathroom to your exclusive use means that you can unpack your stuff there, which is great. Brooklyn is a fantastic and very vibrant area in itself (a lot of authentic food places, some shops, Brooklyn Museum and Botanical Gardens, Prospect Park - all right on your doorstep), as well as there are very good Subway transport links into Manhattan. Altogether I would definitely recommend staying with The Girls to anyone looking for an authentic New York experience - you will be well looked after, entertained (I was always more than welcome to join them for movies in the evening!), safe and happy! Sheena, Samantha and Lucy - thank you for such a wonderful 2 weeks, I will definitely be back though... ;)
