I'm an Art Director/Graphic Designer for some major fashion and beauty brands.
I have the sweetest cat in the world (Meowsy) that acts like everyone's his best friend! If you like cats then he's good company to come home to.
I've done apartment swaps and sublets, everyone loves my apartment and neighborhood, it's comfortable, convenient and eclectic!
We (girlfriend and I) attended a 3 day conference in Brooklyn and took a few days extra for sight-seeying. Christine's place was near the venue so the location was perfect. Especially since Park Slope is a nice area with some very delicious restaurants on or near 5th Avenue. We will miss our morning cup of coffee at Gorilla's. The room was clean and Christine let us use her computer for planning our trips. Meowsy the cat was always happy to see us. No noisy airco, no carpet smelling rooms... More »
October 2011The host canceled my reservation 30 days before arrival.
I had the best 5 days in NYC and Christine was a fantastic host! Great location, safe neighborhood, cute kitty and the couch was super comfy! Can't wait for my next trip to NYC!
Room was spacious and home was in a great location!
What a beautiful place. We had a really good time at Christine's apartment. Tasteful pictures and furnitures, everything is clean, the cat is so cute and relaxed. We felt like being at home for 5 days. Thank you!
A gracious host, great location and affectionate kitty - a wonderful stay. Thanks Christine!
Nice little divider curtain, full access to shower and kitchen, and had pretty much the whole place to myself... it was as if I was borrowing a friend's apartment for the week. Great part of Brookln, within walkin distance to the bridge and Greenwood cemetary. Five blocks from the subway. Perfect! I was also free to contact her at any time with any questions. A fantastic experience.
If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, hassle-free stay in Brooklyn this is your place. Christine is a wonderful host! You can't beat the price and the close access to the subway is a BIG +
Location, Location, and Location. This is the one. I have been going to NYC every summer for a board meeting. This apt is one of the best I have stayed at recently for many reasons including the great location to my meeting. There is an excellent coffee shop around the corner, easy access to the subway, and Christine is a great hostess! I assure you, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Christine, I'll be back!
We will likely be amongst the last guests in the appartment as Christine is moving in July. We stayed 7 nights at Christine's place. The appartment is well-located, spacious, and handy. We found the pillows a bit too hard, and the building works just across the street prevented us from sleeping long mornings. Nevertheless, the proximity of the 5th Avenue with its numerous lovely bagel & coffee shops made us forget these little inconveniences. That was a very good first Airbnb... More »
Great location, nice area with many bars, restaurants, shops, just few blocks to the subway (many lines and a train) and to the BAM cinema theatre. The apartment is nice, and the sofa really comfortable! Christine is kind, helpful and respectful of your privacy. And Meowsy is so lovely! I stayed for a week and I highly recommend Christine’s place.
Very nice place for stay! Great location, easy access to Manhattan and JFK. Nice area, safe district, many shops for any taste. Christine is super host! Very helpful, very welcome, respect your privacy and Mr.Meowsy makes you feel like home, sweet home. High recommend this place!
Christine was fabulous. Couldn't have asked for a better hostess! Close to subways, food, bars and one of the main transit hubs. She is well equipped as a hostess with guide books and area maps provided on her coffee table. Clean, well kept and private. I'd definitely stay again. Thank you Christine! Keep me in mind for watching Meowsy! ;)
I stayed the night at Christine's place and the accomodations were great. Her place was beautiful and I loved the area. Her place is conveniently located near the subway, grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, and bars. If you are a cat lover you will really love staying here as her cat is extremely friendly. Christine is very friendly and easy going. You will not regret staying here.
As the other comments already state: This place is highly recommended. Thanks Christine!
Christine is a wonderful and gracious host. I felt very welcome; the space was clean and inviting. I will say that if you do not enjoy the company of a cat, this may not be the best fit for you. That being said, my experience was extremely positive, and I heartily recommend booking a stay.
Christine is a caring and good host. She is very very helpful. She provided us with all the information all about NYC. Food, shops, groceries, resto, transportation, city highlights... She wasn't there when we stayed at her place last Dec but she has prepared everything for us, from mailing the house keys and etc. Her place is a bit dirty when we came (maybe because she was on holiday at that time) so we need to clean a bit here and there. But the room was great. Even without the wifi, the... More »
IF you prefer a calm and meditative space... IF you desire maximum walkability to subways, shopping resturants, and entertainment venues.... IF you prefer your hosts to be intuitive to how much attention you need or don't need... then Christine's place is just the place for you! I stayed in Christine's beautiful,clean, calm and relaxing bedroom for a weeks stay while in town for job related business. The apartment is right across from a construction site, but there are double paned... More »
Everthing was great, location, host, Mr. Meowsy and price! Was in town for a wedding and most everyone was staying further away, paying dble, had tiny rooms and wasn't in the best of neighborhoods. Needless to say... they were all jealous! Would definitely recommend!
Great location, perfect host, comfortable room, comfortable division of space in the apartment, privacy, easy walk to major subway hub, parked my car right outside all weekend. I didn't want to leave and would not hesitate to rent from Christine again.
I can strongly recommend to stay at Christine's place. She was very helpful at all times and she has a fantastic taste to decorate her apartment. The place is very centrally located in Brooklyn with all subway lines in close walking distance. A little bit annoying was the morning noise from the construction site front door but I am anyway a "early bird" and were is so much to explore in the city so that getting up early is a must! I liked the lilac room with the comfy bed very much. Thank you... More »
Christine's apartment was great! Clean comfortable eclectic and spacious bedroom. Also located in a very safe neighborhood. We only stayed a couple of nights for a wedding, but felt right at home. I would definitely recommend her place.
A neighborhood in the midst of renewal, and close to a major subway stop. Firm bed and Internet access in a clean room. The AC came in handy in August. Suggestion: set up the computer to automatically clear search and browse history after every use, for every guest.
Great place, great neighbourhood and we sure did love your cat! everything was easy going and even though it was 106°F outdide, we had a great time.
the place was great and she was very nice and helpfull :-) i will recommend for my friends
Very nice apartment, very large bedroom so pleasant to stay with all facilities in the apartment. Christine and friend are really nice and helpful, while securing also privacy to hosts. Thanks for your special help during this volcano surprise with changing schedules for us, "forced" to stay until Europe re-opens sky trafic. The location is also very central in Brooklin with lots to hang around. We loved the cat too! Only draw back is too many nice shops around, not good for saving money... More »
The apartment was very clean and the bed was VERY comfortable. Thanks Christine!
Yesss!! This is the way you wanna spend your holidays. Lovely calm, clean en welcome place. Especially with the warm welcome of playful Meowsy every time you come home. Christine, you're a very cool host: kind, helpful (I miss Gorilla Coffee.. I miss The Chocolate Room.. I miss strolling the streets in Brooklyn..) and thoughtful (our cats totally loved the toy!). Hope you get some time off yourself soon to explore the world again. Please remember, you and John are welcome in Holland anytime.... More »
I was great to stay with Christine, she was a friendly and helpful host and the room was comfortable and beautifully decorated. Meowsy was also very friendly and it was great to stay in a very pretty neighbourhood with fantastic pizza (franny's) just down the road.
Our stay was wonderful! Christine was such a great host, very friendly and helpful. The location was great...close to dining, bars, the train and grocery stores. Plus, it felt really safe, even late at night. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Brooklyn!
Had a great weekend staying at Christine's apartment. It is very clean and located in the heart of Park Slope. The subway and great food options are just a five minute walk away. I would definitely recommend staying here, Christine and her cat Meowsy make you feel right at home.
Amazing! Christine was a great host, she was always available to give advice and she was very accommodating. Very sweet and thoughtful girl. Her place is clean and the bed is comfortable, and she has a/c which was great! Her place is very close to a main subway station so it was easy to get anywhere. Meowsy is adorable. Highly recommended. Thanks Christine!!!
I couldn't have been happier with my stay at Christine's. Her apartment and friendly cat Meowsy will make you feel at "home". The apt is beautifully decorated down to every detail. The location is conveniently located next to a subway stop, and beautiful Prospect Park. The neighborhood is lively; full of cafes, and culture. And most memorable is Christine's thoughtfulness and kindness. I am extremely grateful to Christine and Meowsy! Highly recommended!
Christine's appartment is great. Beautifully decorated and a few blocks away from the subway to Manhattan. The area is also perfect ! Christine knew it very well and recommended us delicious cafes and restaurants. Thanks Christine !
Christine's apartment was amazing. Beautifully decorated and clean. She was helpful in showing us her neighbourhood including some great restaurants and cafes. She also nice enough to leave us bagels for breakfast. Meowsy was also a friendly addition to the family.
Christine was polite, gracious and responsive. I actually pinged her to see if I could shoot a short film and she responded very quickly that she was willing to accommodate our crew invading her apartment. Meowsy the cat is quiet and inquisitive. The apartment is comfortable, clean and beautiful and Christine made us all feel very much at home. Highly recommended!
Christine was a wonderful host, I had such a great time! The apartment was fabulous - beautifully decorated, comfortable, with everything you need. Christine was friendly and knew the lay of the land really well. Meowsy was maybe the nicest cat I've ever met, and really chatty! You can't go wrong in Park Slope, its an eclectic, laid-back and fun part of Brooklyn. This apartment is near a major subway station (Pacific St-Atlantic Ave), so its really quick and easy to get everywhere, including... More »
Christine's place in Brooklyn is brilliant, as her being the host and the apartment. Very well located to Manhatten but far away enough to be imersed into Brooklyn. Some great bars and resturaunts near by and a very comfortable bed and cool room. Meowsy is great, the resident cat and Christine was very helpful and accomodating me. Great place to stay, pitty about the weather though, but Christine couldn't do anything about that! Would book again if ever go back to NYC. Thanks Christine.
Christine's apartment was amazing. It is very lovely and clean and it is located very close to the subway. Christine was helpful and showing me some bars near the apartment. I love the Union Hall. Meowsy is a lovely cat. Highly recommended!
The apartment was very nice, and the cat was really cute. I was extremely grateful for Christine's thoughtfulness and kindness. She was willing to go the extra mile in providing additional help to make the stay much more easier. I'd definitely recommend Christine's place.
I could only recommend Christine's place. It is very lovely and clean and it is located very close to the subway. If you just want to take a walk you could walk to 5th avenue in brooklyn (about 3 minutes), there are lots of coffee places, little shops and nice bars. We loved it.
I couldn't have been happier with my stay at Christine's place. The decor, the cleanliness, and the ambience were all first rate. Even the cat made me feel welcome and kept me company when I wasn't at the hospital awaiting the birth of my granddaughter Annabel. The location was great. Convenient to shops, restaurants, churches, subway and of course my daughter and Annabel.Christine even made the kitchen and computer available to me and provided directions to local attractions. I've already... More »
Beautiful apartment located so close to the subway it made getting around a breeze. Great Neighborhood, close to great bars and restaurants. Definitely loved it.
It's so nice I wish I could live there...
