Olivia is a warm and welcoming host at her charming house in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant. The private ground-floor apartment is airy, comfortable, quiet, and newly-renovated—super clean and tidy, with beautiful shining wood floors (thus her request that guests not wear their outdoor shoes in the apartment). There’s useful neighborhood information, and some nice guidebooks to the city and to Brooklyn in particular. It was a very sweet home away from home.
