Staying with Zach and Christa was great! Christa gave us perfect directions to and from the airport via taxi, subway, & the walk to their place. Everything was easy and well explained. Christa was always prompt to answer any question I had, mostly about food and delivery of the pizza from Mike's, which was delicious.

Their home looks very similar to the pictures posted. They have made a few upgrades here and there, mostly in the kitchen, but it made the space look really nice! It is a very cozy place with lots of creative touches.

When we first met them, we actually spent 3 hours talking in the living room, without realizing so much time had passed. They are very easy to carry a conversation with, and Christa is very knowledgeable of the history and cultures that surround Brooklyn. They offered us great advice, and food suggestions for our visit.

The first few nights, we weren't sure how comfortable we would be walking to and from the subway at night, but were reassured that everything would be fine, and they were right. We never had any issues and there were actually police officers standing on the corner every night because one of the precincts are on the next block, which made us feel secure.

We came at the end of August, when the temperature was pretty high. If you have never been to New York, you may not be aware that central heating & air is hard to come by. Unfortunately, it was really hot. Although in the room, there is a skylight that opens a little, we needed two fans at night to keep us cooled off, and they gladly accommodated us.

Cookie & Ollie were wonderful hosts as well, and after a few games of fetch and belly rubs, we were all friends quickly. They helped us fill that hole from missing our four-legged children that were waiting for us back at home, so we were very grateful to have them around.

We would recommend their place to anyone. Thank you again, guys for everything you did for us. We would love to come back and stay with you again sometime! :)
