If you're looking for an authentic Brooklyn experience, this is it. This well-appointed walk-up is located about 13-15 minutes from the A and C-Line subways, which take you directly into Lower Manhattan and many convenient points north. When you're ready to leave the city behind and find an oasis in Brooklyn however, this place checks all the boxes.
Aside from being pretty conveniently located (the walk isn't bad at all), it's very well appointed and decorated with all the essentials and perhaps the biggest bonus -- a comfortable outdoor patio to relax. We made a daily routine of having our coffee out there, and it never disappointed. The place overall had beautifully redone bathrooms, nice, comfortable beds, and everything you need for a short or a more extended stay.
We had our two teenage boys with us, so we appreciated the three rooms and plenty of space to spread out. The neighborhood is boisterous and noisy with lots of people and music and commotion, but we loved it -- such a welcome change from our own home in suburbia and it all felt like a more authentic NYC experience. And don't worry -- James and Lisa have installed super thick windows in the place, so you definitely feel that separation between the inside and out if you choose to close the windows and hang out inside.
I also had several questions during our stay to which Lisa was hyper responsive.
Highly recommend.
