As a host, Sophie was informative, reliable and polite. The apartment itself was clean, spacious and stocked with various necessities just in case. However, I would not recommend staying in Crown Heights. Though there were four locked doors to get into the apartment, my friends and I did not feel safe there (especially at night). There were no nearby restaurants, shops, etc. and the nearest metro station was a 15 minute walk away. Something to consider if you want to immerse yourself in the neighborhood in which you're staying.
