Andrea was exactly what a host should be: prompt, knowledgeable, nice and accessible. She did everything she promised and then some! Her place was on the ground floor (rare in Brooklyn and much preferred!), well heated, fully stocked kitchen, and really hot water -- on a nice street a few steps from great food, bars, an independent movie theater, and down the block from the train. I would stay at her place again. And at any place she hosted.
