NYU
Consulting
I'm a native New Yorker. I like to do a wide range of things, from the newest restaurants to small music venues; you'll be in good hands if want the locals' suggestions for sightseeing, nightlife, shopping, etc.
At home, I love to cook and entertain, watch movies, relax. My friends always say my apartment feels like home away from home, so come stay!
My wife Ilse and I stayed in Clara's apartment for 2 weeks, and enjoyed every minute of it. The apartment is well equipped, located in a nice area, and very convenient to the subway station. There are plenty of good restaurants, convenience stores and other services nearby. Initially the TV wouldn't work, but the service provider established that there was a fault in the incoming cable. They repaired it promptly. If I ever have the opportunity to visit NYC again, I would have no hesitation in... More »
April 2010Had a great time. The apartment was in a good location. It was clean and better than a soulless hotel room.
We had a great time at Clara's. Her place is really close to restaurants and grocery stores, and the subway is only a few blocks away. The apartment is clean and quiet and she left great instructions for everything we needed. Highly recommended!
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Clara's place. Clara left great instructions about where to go and how to find everything necessary for our stay in her apartment. She lives in a great area with everything you need within a couple blocks. The place was super clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed her living room while there were record snowfalls and the place was super warm and cozy. We ate really well in the restaurants close by. Super place and a great price!
Clara was great yet again! My boyfriend and I stayed with Clara during December '09, and had such a good stay then that it was an easy decision to stay again for our next visit.
Staying at Clara's place was plain awesome! She is a great host - a bottle of wine upon arrival, homemade bread, oatmeal muffins, a chat over a cup of coffee...if all that doesn't qualify her for an awesome host award I don't know what would! She pointed me to great spots in Park Slope - the neighborhood is great. Good restaurants, excellent coffee shops, mom 'n pop shops, a movie theater, and not to forget: lovely Prospect Park. It's beautiful and very safe during the day. In short: I... More »
I could never thank Clara enough for our stay at her place. She was absolutely wonderful: giving us suggestions about where to eat and go, inviting us to have a wonderful meal with her and her friends, and even looking out for us! Her place is beautiful, the neighbourhood is wonderful and it's so easy to get around all of New York from here. She made coming to the city for the first time such an amazing experience. We adore her!
Clara was a dream host helpful with everything and a total pleasure to deal with. The room was huge and bright- perfect. The location couldn't be better right in one of the nicest area of Brooklyn. Highly recommended! Thank you so much Clara!!
If you're looking for an amazing location, this is the place to be. With places to eat and the subway two minutes walk away, you can't find a place any better than Clara's. Be sure to go to Terrace Bagels for arguably the best bagels in New York City! The apartment was clean and the room was large and comfy. The neighbourhood was one of the nicest in Brooklyn- really safe and had a beautiful park minutes away. If you're from Australia or New Zealand, I think you'd appreciate the corner... More »
My sister and I stayed with Clara for five nights in Dec 09. Her apartment was cozy and in very safe neighborhood; about 4 blocks away from the F train. I haven't stayed inside NY apartment before and the experience was a very pleasant one. Lots of eateries nearby; my sister was craving breakfast at 11am one night and we went to Daisy's diner: yummy french toast. Thanks for being a great hostess!
Clara was a great hostess and made us feel very comfortable in her apartment. She gave us directions and suggestions that made our first trip to NY very enjoyable. The neighborhood is great; we recommend Enzo's Italian Restaurant for lunch and dinner and the Windsor Cafe for breakfast. If you're sharing the apartment with Clara be aware that there is just one bathroom; otherwise it is a great way to experience a safe neighborhood in Brooklyn with an easy commute to Manhattan on the F subway...

My boyfriend and I stayed at Clara's fantastic apartment this past weekend, and really loved our time there from beginning to end! Her apartment's in a really good neighborhood, we were completely comfortable walking the short distance back from the train even at 2am. Food in the neighborhood was good too, for example a great Italian bakery, Terrace Bagels, a 24hr mart, and lots of other stuff nearby. The pictures don't lie; her place is beautiful! It was very clean, with a super comfy bed... More »
The best part about staying at Clara's place is Clara. She is an amazing host! How amazing? Try fresh pie baking in the oven when you get there mulled wine within first 1/2 hour amazing. She knows the city really well; our trip could not have been what it was without her advice. The nearby park is beautiful, and even closer are the best bagels that New York has to offer. To anyone who is looking for accommodations outside of the chaos of Manhattan, while still reasonably connected to it when... More »
I stayed at Clara's sweet apartment at the end of November, and had a great time. She is a great hostess and cook, and is the quintessential Brooklyn local. Her apartment is really close to the F train, which will take you almost anywhere you need, and the neighborhood shops, including Terrace Bagels, are damn good. The neighborhood is safe, and has a lot of character. I was very happy to have stayed with Clara as opposed to being in the city or at some lifeless hotel. I'd definitely... More »
My boyfriend and I stayed with Clara for 4 days in November '09 and everything was perfect. She wasn't in when we arrived late from JFK (which is only about 30 mins away) so she left out the key for us and we arrived at the apartment to find a bottle of wine and time out NY for us- how thoughtful! The apartment was really clean, spacious and homely. As we were out all day most days we didnt see much of Clara but she always left breakfast basics out for us and was on hand to recommend places...

Clara is a very lovely person and made as (email hidden) apartment is great. It´s very well located with a lot of public transport. Is a very kind neighborhood and we enjoyed very much to stay there. We would stay at Clara's again. We highly recommend it!
The apartment is a rare find in New York! It was both spacious and conveniently located to the subway stations and unique eateries. Clara was wonderful about accommodating our late night check in and late check out. I know that for future Brooklyn vacations, we will be booking her apartment.
As first time visitors to the US, all apprehensions about booking an apartment was dissolved when we received very prompt and clear communications from Clara and AirBnB. Clara’s apartment was easy to find, within walking distance to the subway and Prospect Park and is very clean and well appointed. There are several affordable restaurants and cafes within walking distance (our favourite was Fez) and a choice of delicatessens where most foods could be purchased. We thoroughly enjoyed our...

Clara is a wonderful host! Although she was there only for two days, she made sure I got everything I needed and I most certainly enjoyed staying in her home. The apartment is beautiful modern and spacious, it's conveniently located with nearby shops, F-train subway station and Prospect park. I highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!
Very nice apartment and excellent location, near the park and a big variety of restaurants, plenty of shops too and good public transport. Good instructions for working things in the flat! Clara was very welcoming, and flexible about arrival and departure times, letting us store our luggage in the apartment for the day we left since we weren't flying until the evening.
Had a terrific time, Clara. But, special thanks for making sure everything went without a problem. Your attentiverness and thoughtfulness is second to none. Wonderful amenities, great location. Hope there's room next time I visit my grandchildren. Bernie P. Tulsa, OK
Claras place is great! Relaxed, comfortable and in my favorite part of Brooklyn. We really enjoyed staying with Clara, she was extremely helpful and made us feel at home. Lots of cools shops and restaurants in the neighborhood and close to the subway. The apartment is clean and quiet and I highly recommend it. Loved it! x emma and emma
¡Bravo! Clara gave us a warm receiving and made our stay in New York so much comfortable and unforgettable. She is lovely and funny. The apartment was perfect for us. Close to Park Slope, our favourite Brooklyn neighbourhood, with a lot of restaurants and stores nearby. We would stay there if we come back to NY and we are recommending it to our best friends.
Clara was incredibly helpful both before and during the stay. Everyone felt very much at home in her apartment, and she worked hard to make sure that everything was in good working order. Fantastic location!
After a bit of a last minute booking we were welcomed to Brooklyn in the best way to Clara's lovely apartment and her hospitality. With great suggestions for things to do and shopping, the location was close to all. Prospect park, restaurants, grocery stores, train and laundromat. Clara could not have been more helpful in making our stay enjoyable.
A fantastic Brooklyn experience! Clara was friendly and hospitable, and the apartment was convenient and comfy! I would stay there again without thinking twice about it.
Clara was great. She was quite helpful in giving directions and offering suggestions around New York, and her hospitality was excellent. Her apartment is comfortable and in a convenient location as well. You really can't go wrong staying with Clara. She has traveled around quite a bit herself, and she is a good conversationalist. If you are even considering Clara's place, go ahead and book it. You won't regret it.
AMAZING PLACE!!! Friendly and warm neighborhood with tons of stores and restaurants.
It was a great pleasure to welcome and host Clara.
August 2011Clara was wonderful. Hope to see her again!
I met Clara very briefly. She was great and it was a real fantastic hosting her - really no hassle at all - she is welcome in our home anytime - it would be a pleasure
Clara is a warm and gracious host, and has an incredible knowledge of New York City. Her home is beautiful. I should know - I used to live below her! The location is great too. It's especially ideal if you have parents in from out of town and you want a comfortable place for them to stay.
April 2009Clara and her apartment are both adorable! Safe, clean and cozy- this Brooklyn apartment is just right. Access to Prospect Park is a special NYC treat. Meeting Clara herself- even sweeter!
