My husband, daughter, and 4 other friends stayed at Nancy's place from August 27-31, 2015. I have never had a better Air BnB experience that that of this particular trip. Nancy was the most gracious host from the beginning. She would immediately respond to messages and even arranged for our transportation from and to the airport (thank you Rachel!).

The apartment was exactly as pictured! It was spacious, clean and had all the amenities that you would ever need. Nancy has put together a little binder about NYC and how to get to various attractions. She also left a subway map which was very helpful!

While some people may be intimidated by the location, the residents could not have been lovelier! There is a Baptist church two doors down that held their services outside in a tent during the month of August and the energy was AMAZING! We ran into a block party and a street festival. We felt welcomed and part of the community. We LOVED the neighbourhood! Coming from a diverse city such as Toronto, it really made us feel at home. As Nancy said, a simple good morning and hello goes a long way.

My daughter and her friends were in NYC attending a Japanese fashion convention and were dressed in Japanese fashion. The residents in the neighbourhood were so lovely to them and took many photos with them.

As Nancy told us, the neighbourhood is gentrifying. The only thing that makes me sad is that the gentrification may change the community feel of this neighbourhood and that would be a shame.

We used 2 subway stops from the apartment. The M train (13 min walk) and the J train (11 minute walk). This was perfect for us. There are grocery stores and convenience stores very close by, especially by the subway stations. We made breakfast every day at the apartment and it was perfect.

We had the immense pleasure of actually meeting Nancy. Nancy is the most amazing woman, so full of life and so kind. I know I will forever have a friend in Brooklyn!

I highly recommend that everyone stay in Nancy's apartments. You won't be disappointed. I cannot wait to come back!
