We had a fabulous time staying at Valeria’s place for our holiday visit to Brooklyn. The apartment is in a terrific location, with tons of shops and restaurants around the corner, and it is less than a block from Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park. It is on a busy street.

You can tell that Valeria is a designer, because the apartment is spacious and nicely decorated, and it has high ceilings, big windows, hardwood floors and French doors – quite lovely. Like the entire apartment, the bathroom was sparkling clean, and it had a great shower. Valeria provided big fluffy white towels, which we really appreciated. The bed was quite comfortable, and Valeria had emptied a small closet for our use. While we didn’t cook much, the kitchen had plenty of space and all the amenities and equipment we were looking for. Valeria also kindly left us some breakfast essentials – coffee, tea, oatmeal and fruit.

The building itself is quiet – we rarely heard a peep from the neighbors.

We stayed during a particularly warm spell, and the apartment had more than enough heat – so much so that we kept the windows open to cool down. This meant we heard some street noise.

It was easy to communicate with Valeria. Overall, we enjoyed our experience – thank you, Valeria!
