I always had a good feeling about Eva's house this first I saw it. She has great taste and a wonderful home. Her communication and recommendations really made the difference so we felt at home as soon as we arrived. Everything was wonderfully clean, comfortable and well prepared. We enjoyed the balcony especially each night on our return - listening to the eclectic sounds of Brooklyn and watching the fire trucks hurtle by (only on the first night - don't fret!).
We loved the area - it felt honest - pre gentrification (though I hate that phrase). Everyone was really friendly and chatty. To local deli was great too - but as its untouched you have to be prepared to walk a while for food or a bar. But within 10 mins you have a great selection. And one morning we even cooked for ourselves... Now that's a first in New York and a testament to the well equipped kitchen.
Overall - as you can probably tell, we really annoyed our stay in Eva's home and would heartily recommend.
