Visiting Brooklyn was the second stage of our planned trip around North East America (we had never visited the country previously) and my wife and I had very good vibes about Jenny and the property she was letting, even before we left England. Why? Jenny's sheer enthusiasm for wanting to host us came across loud and clear in her mailings to us, and her promptness was very reassuring, as was her " I will absolutely make a point of being at home to welcome you when you arrive", and of course Jenny was true to her word, appearing on the doorstep as our taxi pulled up outside her door. And the apartment is just lovely ! Full of artistic touches with Jenny's stamp on them, but a home from home feel as well. The bedroom is comfortable, spacious and attractive on the eye, and looks out onto a garden. The kitchen area is nicely equipped and there is a handy dining area which then gives way to a comfortable living space with TV etc but even more interesting, a wonderful collection of books. Jenny is around when you need her and is never less than super friendly, interesting and enthusiastic. It is an easy commute into Manhattan via Grand Army Plaza train station, just 5 minutes away. My wife fell in love with this property the minute she walked in and never wavered in that view during the 4 nights we stayed. We both agreed that if we hadn't been due to attend a wedding in Galloway, New Jersey, we may still be there now! A final plus is that it is only a short walk to a vibrant shopping area which meets all the needs of those living out of a suitcase including a very reasonably priced same day laundry service at the laundrette, as the English like to call it. All we need now is an excuse to revisit the States and we will once again be booking "our" Brooklyn hideaway.
