My partner and I spent a week in Jaclyn’s apartment. Well before we arrived in NYC, Jaclyn advised she would be out of town and that her cousin Anthony would be our person to contact. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience!

The room was exactly as advertised and then some. You really can’t get a feel for the layout until you get in there, but it’s spacious, cozy, and comfortable. Granted we didn’t spend a ton of time in the apartment because we were out doing touristy things, but it was such a welcome space to come back to. I’m an incredibly picky person in my own life, and the fact that I couldn’t find a single thing to complain about is absolutely amazing. I’d live here if they let me!

In the bedroom - Amazing layout. More than enough closet space, drawers, desk space, and areas to fold, hang, and store our clothes/luggage. Pics are spot on. It was clean, beautifully maintained, and comfortable. New towels were left for us, and all the sheets were new for our stay.

The living room - So nice! My partner had a lot of reading she needed to do for school, and it was so nice to spend time in here during our evenings to sip on beers from the deli around the corner (mentioned in the listing!). Great books everywhere, records galore, and a really comfy couch. Please note that air conditioning is all through the house, so the apartment was a welcome respite from the scorching temperatures!

The bathroom - Perfect. Everything was stocked (toilet paper, hand towels, tissues, supplies, and a beautiful shower). There was even a hair dryer to use. It was at this point that I knew I was in what might be the best space I’ve ever stayed in.

There was another guest in the bedroom next door, but Jaclyn advised us beforehand and they were so nice. Communication was great, and both Jaclyn and Anthony are incredible hosts. We intersected with Anthony frequently as we left and he came home from work. Before our trip, Jaclyn also messaged me a whole bunch of things to do in Williamsburg and the surrounding area of Brooklyn, and it was indispensable for our stay. The area is very lively and well travelled. We felt safe and at home here.

Overall it was a fantastic experience, and I’d love to stay here again.
