Sonia is an incredibly attentive host who was quick to answer our questions (like how to turn on the gas stove) and made a point to greet us in person. She gave great food recommendations for what was nearby, and Prospect Park was lovely. The apartment itself was charming, the subway's close by, and we felt like real New Yorkers for the week we stayed! Sonia reassured us that the hissing and crackling heaters when it got cold were normal (throughout the city). All the amenities were great and what we expected from the description. Come prepared to lift your luggage up a few flights if stairs, and get a leg workout on the way up! 10/10 would stay here again.
