We stayed for a week in Ala's apartment and it was wonderful. The apartment is very homely and has everything you need. It really is beautiful. The neighbourhood was lovely, we very close to the metro, which is only a few stops to other great neighbourhoods as well as only around 25 minutes to Manhattan. Clinton Hill has lots of great bars and restaurants near the apartment and Ala left us a list of recommendations on our arrival.
Getting the key from Ala when we arrived was very straight forward and she was very helpful and got straight back to me with any questions I had throughout the stay.
I thoroughly recommend this apartment. We will definitely be back asap.
