We have spent 4 days at Alia's apartment.
My husband & I have chosen Alia's place because prior to our booking she committed to acquiring a portable crib for our toddler. Unfortunately, that crib has never arrived. Alia has not kept her word. Since she only got a couch, a queen bed and a full bed in her apartment I had to sleep with my infant and make sure she did not fall out of bed at night. To be fair, Alia has suggested us to buy a portable crib and she said that she would pay almost half the price. It was not an option for us since we were in the middle of a relocation to Europe. Such a shame she could not keep her word!
As for the apartment, it was very clean but VERY NOISY to us no matter in which room we slept. You can hear the noise of the street as well as of the building.
Alia was very accomodating upon arrival. She showed us the entire apartment. She was also flexible with our check-in time.
There is a playground nearby as well as The Children's Museum of Brooklyn.
Trains #2,3,4 are within a short walking distance (appr. 10 mins). Nice and easy commute within Brooklyn and to Manhattan.
Overall I would not recommend this place for families with toddlers.
