Katerina's apartment was lovely and exactly as described. The apartment is fully equipped with a very comfortable bed and was nice and cosy. It's in a lovely brownstone on a classic leafy Brooklyn street.

Katerina gave us lots of communication before we arrived which was great - combination entry thru the doors is a real bonus - no need for a key.

We drove into NYC to the apartment and managed to get parking right outside the apartment for the whole weekend. The apt is about a 10 minute walk from the nearest subway - we used Utica Ave which was ok the A Express way which gets you into Manhattan in about 20 mins max. The neighbourhood and subway station seem intimidating at first, but we had no problems at all with walking around the neighbourhood to the subway and back. We also ate at a local French restaurant which was very good, although we wish we'd tried a few more of the local bars which we didn't have time to do.

Would definitely recommend the apartment - Brooklyn and Bed-Stuy might not be the most obvious tourist stop but it's definitely a different way to spend time in the city. Katerina was a great host who gave us everything we needed (incl complimentary wine on arrival) - take a chance and you won't be disappointed.
