When you stay with Christine, you feel welcomed into Brooklyn. Her house is close to anything you might need, but also on a quiet, tree-lined street. It is sparkling clean, cozy and comfortable, and filled with a delightful combination of old and antique furniture and art. Your bathroom and the kitchen (which you share with Christine) are far from antique, though - they have been recently renovated with an eye to beauty and functionality. If you are lucky enough to visit in the Spring, you will be welcomed by the stunning dogwood tree and spring flowers in the street-side garden, and the rear patio garden is lovely place to re-group after visiting the city.
