Cynthia is a top host, she was very communicative and helpful before and during the 10 days that we stayed at her place. Her apartment in Sunset Park was perfect for a couple like us and would also be that for a families with up to 2 children. The nice back yard was definitely a plus. Concerning Sunset Park, it is a pleasant, very safe and still unspoiled local Brooklyn neighborhood with lots of places to eat, a brand new mircro-brewery nearby, supermarkets and grocery stores, and also a straight subway connection right into Manhattan. The apartment is Cynthia's home, she only rents it out when she is travelling. So if you ever have the chance to find her place listed and available, don't hesitate to book.
