Katarina was the perfect host! Granted, I was not able to meet because of the super late arrival and load marathon schedule, but she provided a wonderful place. Clean, clear and simple instructions, decorated for Halloween, couple of snacks provided-- a very welcoming and relaxing place. The view from her particular apartment and from the rooftop were much more beautiful than average. Wish I had some more time to experience the neighborhood, but the late night walks were nice, and the Bedford stop on the L train was convenient for constant trips to Manhattan.
