The apartment overlooks the bridge and part of Manhattan, it is a great place as a hub for any trip to New York. In a relatively quiet area with happy and thoughtful neighbours and a good list of local shops and cafes if you need some down time - helpfully provided by the host. The apartment itself was clean and well equipped, with personal affects making it feel homely. Despite it being a holiday season (thanksgiving) and not meeting Jeannie we were kept well informed and made to feel welcome throughout. Great place to stay if you are looking to explore, and don't forget the surrounding Brooklyn as it has a lot more to offer than you may think!
