Aleksandra is a wonderful host. Her home is spotless and she also makes her kitchen available if you want to prepare your own meals. She is a great source of information and will help you find or book events in Brooklyn and the city, but gives you privacy if that is what you prefer. The location is convenient. There are some new trendy restaurants on Flatbush if you want to stay local. The Q subway line is a very short walk away and it gets you into the heart of Manhattan in short time. I plan on staying with Aleksandra again on my next visit.
