We arrived at the apartment in Brooklyn little knowing what to expect. Other reviews told us the host was friendly & responsive to any queries before hand. Firstly let me say Park Slope is a very nice area. There is a fantastic little grocer a very short distance away, while an easy 5 minute stroll brings you to a lovely shopping district. The subway is only a few blocks away & easy to work out.
When we arrived Ming was very thoughtful in showing us around the apartment. It is a one bedroom with a sofa bed in the living room, which Ming uses. The bedroom is well set up & very comfortable. Seriously almost too comfy. A few days getting out of bed was an issue because it was so cosy. Anyway I digress, the apartment is meticulously clean, neat & well set up. We stayed 10 days with Ming, we arrived strangers & left with tears in our eyes having to farewell a dear friend. If you just want to get on with your trip, Ming’s apartment is a terrific jumping off spot for your vacation. However if you should be in search of a great experience then Ming has stories to share over breakfast or a cup of tea & loves to hear your stories as well. Ming has warmth of personality in abundance. Staying at Ming’s place will give you a wonderful & authentic in home travel experience not just a bed for the night.
