We loved our stay at Nicole's. It was in a beautiful old building, and the apartment itself was, I imagine, fairly large for New York standards. It was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. We didn't use the kitchen, but it seemed well-appointed. The space was clean and nviting and even had a/c in the main bedroom, which was appreciated on the one very hot day we had. Nicole was very easy to reach by phone and the check-in process was super easy. The neighbourhood was clearly in the midst of gentrification and was mostly charming and felt safe, even at night. Public transit was close, and it was a great location for exploring other neighbourhoods of Brooklyn. I would highly recommend Nicole's apartment!
