Everything has been amazing. I have no words to describe how kind was Jacqui and what a wonderful host she was ( we never got to meet, she answered fast any request by e-mail or sms) and how great our experience has been. We spend there a mont and a half with my husband while apartment hunting in NY and I have to say, that anything we saw compared to this apartment looked small and ugly. If we had had the chance to rent this apartment for the whole year, we would have done so. It is spacious. well decorated, beautiful, spacious. It really feels like home. The niegbourhood is great. Lots of nice people, very familiar. On your second day people is all ready saying hello and good morning by the street. Not gentrified ( but it looks that it will be soon). Nice shop just on the corner for basic shopping and a couple of supermarkets two blocks further. The street can be a bit noisy though ( well, while we were there the street was being rebuilt so I guess our experience was a bit different than the usual) but it feels that it can noisy anyway mainly because of the cars. However, for us that was not an inconvenient at all. We slept like babies every day. .One thing you need to do if you stay at Jacqui's place: there is this small place down Nostrand on the AC gate direction: Doubles and Bakes. Please go there and it what they have there. One of the things of being in this was to get to know the west indian community, they are a really open an welcoming community. In short: if you go to NY and your intention is to stay in Brooklyn, go to Jacqui's apartment. I truly recommend
