THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!
We stayed for four nights at this beautiful, immaculate, spacious (for NYC) garden-level apartment in Brooklyn. We had no trouble finding the place, and Karine texted us a picture of the front door, so that entry was obvious and easy.
The recently-renovated apartment was absolutely spotless, with new paint, floors, and appliances. The living area's large windows reveal a cute, private backyard, with herbs and landscaping edging the fence. While we did not cook during our stay, the kitchen seemed sufficiently stocked. The freshly-tiled bathroom was well-lit, with a wonderful rainfall shower head. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. The bed was comfy, with luxurious bedding.
The location was perfect for us - close to desired subway lines. A coffee shop is steps away, and a corner store across the street. Karine's restaurant recommendations suited our tastes and we had no concerns walking the half-mile radius to the various neighborhood eateries.
I'm always amused by reviews that complain about the street noise at their accommodations, as if it's the host's fault a big city is loud. However, visitors should know this apartment's bedroom faces the sidewalk, and all the insulation in the world does not absorb the sounds of the hustle and bustle of residential Brooklyn.
We highly recommend this location and would definitely stay here again.
