Karen is such a great host! I stayed 9 nights in the loft and had a truly wonderful experience. The loft is very comfortable, clean (as the rest of the house), and quite private, and the house is beautifully decorated with details everywhere and large windows facing the garden. The location is ideal with lots of bars/restaurants/etc in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Brooklyn and it is very well connected to Manhattan by metro. Karen is absolutely wonderful and dedicated and she made me feel like home from day 1. Her lovely cat "Blondie" is a wonderful host too!
