Description Miss Sophistication: New York

Sitting in a beautiful brownstone, this Clinton Hill apartment is a sophisticated home in a cultural part of Brooklyn. It's in good shape with large windows welcoming lots of light and an open-concept kitchen perfect for socialising and cooking simultaneously. It's not the most luxurious home on our books, but comfortable and inviting for mature couples or a group of friends.

Home truths:
* You'll have to contend with a couple flights of stairs to reach the entrance of the apartment
*The host has made some updates to the decor since the photos were taken
* Should you be renting a car, parking is on-street only

* There aren't too many entertainment options here, and the TV is quite small

* While you're in a quiet neighbourhood, you're in the flight path for LaGuardia Airport so may be able to hear planes overhead
