Stephanie's apartment was perfect for our 10-day visit to NYC. The location was really great because it's close to major subways that can take you deeper into Brooklyn, or into Manhattan and Queens. It's also in a busy area putting you in walking distance to grocery stores, bars, restaurants, parks, music venues and pretty much anything else you might want. However, because the apartment is in the back of the building it's very quiet and we slept super well. Having lived in Brooklyn for close to ten years, I can assure you that this is by far the ideal set up. The apartment itself was comfortable and clean. The kitchen had all the basics, shower was good, bed was comfy. Stephanie was an excellent host and easy to communicate with. We will definitely try to stay here again next time we are in New York!
