Ana and her husband were fantastic hosts. My daughter and I came to Brooklyn to live like locals for a week, and we checked that box! The apartment was clean, cozy, and had many amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. The local grocery store is literally around the corner, making it easy to grab what we needed for the week.
Some notes: The closest subway stops are a good 13-15 minute walk away. We didn't use the local bus but probably should've explored that option. Be aware after dark. We decided it was best to Uber back if we knew we would be arriving back later at night. My daughter and I had a handful of scary experiences walking back from the station, which had nothing to due with Ana's incredible apartment.
We sincerely appreciate Ana opening up her home to us! It was so cool to stay in that gorgeous, lovingly renovated brownstone!
