I really enjoyed my stay in Michelle's stylish apartment, which offered everything I needed, including filtered tap water, fluffy towels and a hairdryer! She was a very responsive, welcoming and friendly host, and was always more than willing to assist with local tips that saved me a lot of time, effort and anxiety. She was also understanding and helpful when I had to change my arrival time at short notice.
As a first-time visitor to NYC with very limited time available to me I did, however, find Brooklyn to be a bit inconvenient as yellow cabs aren't available there in the same way that they are in Manhattan, where most of the city's main attractions are situated. That said, Michelle's apartment is within one block of a subway station and the service is extremely reliable. Uber also operates in the area.
Also important to note, as Michelle mentions in her listing, this is a two-floor walk-up, so you do need to be able to get up and down the stairs with your luggage.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this listing and feel it offered good value for money.
