Wow where do I even begin? I stayed at Amy's for a week and I have never felt more at home away from home in my life.
Starting from the place, the apartment is so very spacious and homie. It was clean and organized but did not have that sterile hotel room feel. The room was very large and beautiful and there was ample space for stuff as well as closet space. I enjoyed the little touches of art and decor which made you feel that much more at home.
To keep it short, the place was perfectly located, comfortable, extremely inviting and great to work (wifi is really solid!). As for the location - It is located in Park Slope in a very safe area. It is not exactly in manhattan, but it is in one of the nicest most central areas of brooklyn and the commute into manhttan could not be easier, maybe 25 minutes to midtown and the station is a few blocks away. There is a little bit of street action and noise going on here and there (which I didn't mind at all as it made you feel the vibes of the city) but you can always close the window to avoid the noise, especially since there is a sweet cieling fan and an extra one in case it gets hot.
Amy and Lula (her cat) were such great and gracious hosts. Amy was so communicative and friendly, and on the last night we even shared some travel stories over a meal (she is a fascinating and lovely person to talk to). Amy was so kind to let me check out late and was extremely flexible and hospitable. At some point, I felt so comfortable, it felt as if I'm staying with family. I could not speak of Amy's any more highly... Such a great place to stay if you need a comfortable place, quite apartment, with privacy, convenience, right outside manhattan where you can sleep well, have a nice breakfast, enjoy yourself and feel at home. Highly recommended!!! 10/10
