Erika was most accommodating, especially given that my flight was delayed. Lots of communication and interest in my plight. She met me at the door, ran me through the lovely, well-planned apartment and its details, and then left me to my adventure. The apartment is cozy and clean with all the amenities - especially in my case, coffee and milk - it is also quiet and safe. The first morning I walked the 10 mins to the Brooklyn Museum and while waiting on it to open toured the sun-drenched, snow-covered botanical gardens. What a treat. The neighborhood has great restaurants and coffee shops, unique boutiques, and all the rest of the necessary amenities. We took in the Brooklyn flea and a wonderful yoga class at Shambhala Yoga, too. The BEST thing about the apartment is its location. Explore the surrounding neighborhoods, or in 5 mins hop a train to either the east or west side of Manhattan. It's very, very convenient. The neighborhood and Erika's studio are the perfect, reasonably-priced duo for seeing NYC.
