First and foremost, Jacqui is excellent at communication. She responded promptly to our initial request and to any questions. She has clearly put thought and effort into being a good host.

The apartment is a 4th floor walk up in a nice neighborhood. My family and I walked pretty much anywhere at any time with no concern. The apartment is fresh and clean, very tastefully and sparsely decorated - just right. There is lots of space and great light, especially for what is laid out as a one bedroom. The only issue I had was the bed - it is very soft, like a queen sized down pillow - probably the softest bed I have ever slept on. I have back issues and the soft bed did me no favors. My wife, on the other hand, had no problem with the bed. Jacqui provided an air mattress and linens as a second bed for our daughter. The kitchen and bathroom are fine - water pressure is very low - that could be due to the utility work going on in the area of it could be just an old building in Brooklyn.

We enjoyed the Civil Service Coffee Bar (formerly the Tiny Cup) and Bedford Hill Coffee Bar for morning coffee. The scones at the latter were especially good.

All in all, this was a great experience for us. Jacqui is a thoughtful and pleasant host and the overall value is outstanding.
