Joy is an excellent communicator. She promptly answered our texts and phone messages with accurate, timely information. John showed welcomed us to the place and made us feel welcome, which we really appreciated.
The place itself is just as advertised and shown in the pictures. Though seemly small, it had everything the two of us needed, including a good amount of closet space. The kitchen area was well equipped (including a good selection of cooking pots – a welcome touch). The eating and sitting areas were comfortable too.
The location is great – just a five-minute walk from the A C line, so we could be in Manhattan in a few minutes. A short walk in the other direction took us to the Brooklyn Museum and the Botanic Gardens, both of which we enjoyed. The area is certainly walkable, quite quiet and safe.
All in all, if you don’t mind walking up the stairs (which they warn of in the listing), I’d highly recommend Joy’s place as a great base for a visit to NYC. Highly recommended.
