The place is better than an executive suite in a 3-star hotel. It is spacious, homey, and very functional with Renee's thoughtful & tasteful deco. The kitchen and the washer/dryer are very handy. Renee has been very responsive to email, and kept plenty of supplies travelers need. The place is located in an genuine Brooklyn residential area; takes 10 minutes walk to the A/C subway; another 15 min. to Manhattan.
