Christa and Zach were lovely hosts! Christa was just so friendly and all smiles when we first walked in-- and every other time we saw her : ) Their two dogs were also really adorable! The apartment was clean and decorated with a simple artistic touch, and had a very pleasant atmosphere. There was plenty of space for us to put our belongings, both in our room and in the bathroom there were shelves available for us to use. As travelers who had been living out of a suitcase for some time, that was well appreciated.

Location-wise, the house is only a short walk from the subway, and we got around quite easily. There are a handful of shops and restaurants within walking distance, and Christa and Zach provided us with a booklet of neighbourhood suggestions. Brooklyn itself is not exactly close to the tourist-y part of New York, but we didn't really have a problem with that, although some might want to think about it. For us though, it was a great house with great hosts, and we were glad to have picked this place to stay.
