I am torn, because prospect guest should know that this place is an absolute gem, but I don't want to give away the Brooklyn bargain secret! Chris and Wesley have an impressive newly renovated apartment. As by boyfriend said, "It's better than any hotel we could stay at."!
The apartment begins with a convenient push button lock - so easy to use and no key needed when exploring! The entrance features a large spacious living room and the lounge sofas welcome you to collapse into comport after long days out-and-about. And if you need to wait out the rain or a hangover, there are home entertainment options to select from: Netflix and other on-demand shows, and wonderful books on arts and culture. The kitchen was stocked with everything that you need to make meals at home, snacks, bottled waters.. even Prosecco! What a sweet welcoming! The bathroom, let me tell you... I could add some pics to my Pinterest board. I am currently doing a home renovation and I could appreciate the updated look that Chris and Wesley went for. And it was so clean with many personal products. The bedrooms were both equal in size, and the master had a closet and drawer, convenient to hang and store our "nice" clothes for the big event (that we were in town for). We didn't utilize the backyard, but I imagine if we could for a longer and sunnier stay, it would make for an excellent outdoor lounge!
Chris and Wesley's communication timing was great! They made sure were were informed with instructions which made us feel at ease throughout the trip. Make sure you have some time to do a light clean up before noon. We slept in and that was they only thing we were not prepared for, but it was a quick and easy clean up. Our bad for indulging the night before!
Location was great for us! Easy to arrive from the JFK via J line and L line was a convenient walk to the L line. We quicly found yummy Mexican food, pizza and coffee joints at the end of the block on Bushwick. We are walkers so we loved to hoof it when exploring. Note, there are no bike shares nearby...
Overall, this apartment was great for 4 people to sleep comfortably, who are in Brooklyn to attend events/business matters and bar-hopping. Our 5th guy had to cancel last minute. If we had a 5th, it may have been a bit uncomfortable for that person to sleep on the futon, at least this was the opinion of our two in the group, who switched between the bed and futon for the two nights stay. Besides that, everything was great. Everyone in our group appreciated the personal touches found in every room. Would definitely return if we get lucky to attend the same event next year.
Excellent hospitality! Thanks again guys!
