We could not have been more impressed with this apartment! No need to post pictures because it is exactly as represented - clean, tastefully decorated and cosy.

On a comfort level, every time we got home after a long day sight-seeing it was a real pleasure to come back to the apartment. The couches are made for languishing, the bed is comfy and the shower is powerful - all the most important bases covered.

What impressed us most was the hosts' attention to every detail to make our stay as pleasant as possible: croissants and eggs on arrival, a constant supply of fresh towels, great ground coffee and a super coffee machine, and best of all a Whirly-gig popcorn maker to accompany the hundreds of DVDs they have left you to watch. There were even coffee filters and spices in the cupboard, which most hosts don't bother with. Little things like that make a huge difference.

The neighbourhood was a great base from which to see the city, within walking distance of both the G and C lines. The G line stop is literally a one-minute walk from the flat so really easy to get to Williamsburg and catch connections to Manhattan. While the apartment is located in the less wealthy depths of Brooklyn we really felt like we were living like the locals, with a couple of good restaurants and a nice bar in very close proximity. Coming from England we also noticed that all the neighbours always had a smile for us, which was really welcoming.

All in all we couldn't fault this apartment - and the value compared to what you would get for a run-down hotel on the outskirts is unbelievable. Shannon and Dahrehn were always most friendly and on hand to answer any queries .

We will definitely stay here again on our next visit, which is the best recommendation one can give. Thanks very much to the hosts for contributing to such an enjoyable stay in the Big Apple!
