I chose this listing as a place for my parents to stay during my graduation weekend because I happen to live in the neighborhood. The location was super convenient, and I believe this is one of the most ideal neighborhoods in NYC (walking distance to great restaurants, the Brooklyn Museum, and Prospect Park). R Demetre was a great communicator, and he told me in advance that check-in could be ready at 8am on the day of my parent's arrival, which helped a lot.
The apartment, however, was much dingier-looking than in the photos, and I was disappointed that I chose this spot for my parents' stay. I also live in a pre-war building, so I appreciate the charm of a historic space with many coats of paint, but this space looked *dirty.* My dad said the tub under the bathmat was all black, and he felt dirt in his sheets. I noticed that the baseboards were very dirty. Overall, the apartment was super spacious but it felt like house-sitting someone's very lived-in space. I will book a hotel for my parents' needs and standards next time.
