Leah is a great host, very flexible and responded directly to all requests. The apartment is - as described - a special place and ideal if you are not only interested in the Empire State and Central Park. Bushwick is a vibrant neighborhood with lots of young people and lots of dynamic and reminds me of Berlin Neukölln/Kreuzberg 15 years ago. Lots of nightlife, lots of great cafes and restaurants. The apartment is well connected to the L and M Train, so you can go to Manhattan and Williamsburg quickly. It can get loud and turbulent at times - we loved it, but it's probably not for everyone!
