We were in NY for the weekend of Jan 21 and our group of 8 had a very comfortable stay at Brenda's Brooklyn apartment. The place is very clean and neat. It is very spacious and to be honest the pictures don't really do it justice. The rooms are pretty private - and having 3 bathrooms is great!
We didn't really get to meet Brenda but her son Brendon met us at the door and was very nice and helpful. A working wireless internet connection and televisions with cable also proved to be pretty good for surfing and watching when we were not heading out to the city.
All in all a great experience!
