What a gem of a host and a gem of a place. I had a great stay at Michele's place. She was a great host. Really helpful, very responsive and genuinely cared that I was OK and comfortable. The flat is spacious, beautifully decorated and has all the mods cons. The area is fantastic - great vibe with lots of restaurants, bakeries, delis nearby. It is well connected with buses taking you across Brooklyn (Dumbo is a must go neighbourhood) and the express A train (short walk to the subway) gets you to Manhattan in only a few stops. I stayed at Michele's four nearly 5 weeks and would strongly recommend the place.
