The Brookfield hideaway was a cozy place to roost for two weeks, with a library full of more books than you could possibly read in a single stay! There were many small and lovely touches that made our stay stand out, from sweet treats upon arrival to fresh towel replacements, abundant toiletries and a space heater to beat the winter chill. While the basement apartment means there was limited daylight and lower ceilings (I wouldn’t recommend anyone much taller than 5’10”), the many clever design features were appreciated: a built-in desk for laptop work, potlights on dimmers throughout, pull-out storage under the reading bench in the hallway, a hardworking kitchen area and a recessed rain shower head in the bathroom. Most appreciated, however, was Monique and Jym’s ability to communicate while respecting our privacy; whenever we had a question or concern (the water temperature in the shower, our delayed departure time), it was dealt with promptly and graciously. I would happily stay here again.
