Cannot recommend Yves' place highly enough! DO NOT be put off by the apparent distance from Manhattan - they are such a short walk to the subway that you can be there inside 30 mins, plus it gives you an even shorter trip to some great areas of Brooklyn! And on top of that, the area itself is very safe and there's also plenty of places locally to eat and a super-cheap Supermarket really close and lot's of laundry options for those staying for longer.
As for the apartment itself, everything was not only as described but absolutely spot on! Check-in was a breeze and it's a very smart way of doing it, the apartment was immaculate, everything was in perfect working order and the bed was really comfortable!
I didn't have any issues whatsoever during my fortnight there, but I know that Yves and Nia would have answered very quickly (the one time I did ask a question the reply was instant!)
I won't hesitate to go back to Yves' place again!
