Luis and Melanie are the best hosts! They greeted me promptly and warmly, showed.me through the apartment, gave me suggestions for places to eat in the neighborhood, and told me to be sure to let them know if I needed anything at all at any time. And they meant it. They checked with me periodically to see if I needed anything and quickly supplied items I asked about. The communication was always prompt and easy, and it's obvious they really do want to make their guests feel comfortable and welcomed. I'm a retired woman traveling alone, and I felt very safe in their well-secured building. The apartment is clean, newly renovated, and roomy. I felt right at home there, and I'll be happy to stay there the next time I'm in Brooklyn. Thanks Melanie and Luis! Looking forward to seeing you again!
