Erika was responsive right away to my inquiry! She made sure I had directions to get to the apartment, which I truly appreciated. Erika's apartment is a short walk from the L train which takes you into Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn. The neighborhood was quiet and inviting. Erika was there to greet me and we had a nice chat! We have a lot in common, so it was nice to touch base on similar interests. The apartment is so welcoming, cozy and beautifully decorated. I felt comfortable right away. The room has its own private entrance and even though it was on the first floor, I actually did not notice a lot of noise. I slept very soundly in the room and woke up well rested. Erika is a very kind person and I am grateful to have a chance to stay in her home.
