Godlove's apartment was an incredible home for me for 6 weeks. His apartment was very clean, bright, full of plants, got great ventilation with windows on so many sides, and felt very comforting. The bed was comfortable, the sheets soft, and all the linens looked practically new. The shower had great pressure. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating tools, pots/pans/baking dishes and the oven, gas range, fridge were high quality - a great kitchen to cook in. The heating unit worked very well. The place was a wonderful balance of masculine and feminine energy. There was plenty of cleaning and toiletry supplies when I needed them. The WiFi was super fast and very consistent - I worked from home the entire time on video calls and it worked well. The sunsets from his windows gave me a show every night.
The apartment building had a gated entrance and in general was in good condition. The washers and dryers in the basement were clean and always available when I needed them. The roof deck had 360 views!
Godlove was a great communicator, was down to earth, compassionate, and helpful. It felt like I was renting from a friend. I had a special need / request and he accommodated me instantly.
I enjoyed the vibrancy of the area, the many cultures that live there, and being NY, I pretty much could get anything I wanted anytime. Within 1/2 mile I could be walking through very historic areas with huge homes and lush trees. Within 3/4ths of a mile I could be at an organic co-op supermarket. Within 1 mile I could be at the south end of Prospect Park.
My only issue with the area was that due to its vibrancy, it is loud. At night it was quiet but of course being NY, there the occasional sirens and loud cars. During the day it was fairly busy with all the noises of an active city - music, horns, sirens, etc. The apt is on the 8th floor and has noise-cancelling windows, so this helped a lot, yet I still was present to the activity.
I would stay at Godlove's apartment again. He was an amazing host and his apartment was great!
