Our stay at Sadiki’s place exceeded our expectations. This is an entire unit for a very reasonable price located in a quiet and safe corner of BKLYN not very far from the L train.
The entire place is recently remodeled and very fresh and clean. The photos are an accurate reflection of the unit and it’s furnishings. The furniture was arranged in a much more inviting lay out than seen in the photos. It is very minimally furnished and accessorized but has everything you need for a comfortable stay with thoughtful extras like an iron & ironing board and the kettle in the kitchen.
The bathroom finishes are very nicely done. It is surprisingly spacious enough to move about without feeling crowded at all.
The kitchen, bedroom and living room spaces are as pictured. The futon in the living room folds down to sleep one comfortably.
The listing has two remote controlled AC units that work very well.
While this listing may not be located in better known locations in the boroughs it is conveniently located close to the L train. The L train stop at Rockaway Pkwy is just 5 blocks away. It takes only 10-15 minutes to walk to the train. The L train will take you directly to Union Square Park in Manhattan and connects with half a dozen other lines along the way so you can conveniently get anywhere you need to be in The City & outer boroughs by train.
This listing has only one con that I encountered and a really huge pro.
The CON
There is a washer and dryer in the unit BUT . . . Access to the dryer is very challenging. The dryer door is blocked by immovable boiler room equipment and only opens 4 to 5 inches wide with the small opening facing away from you. You have to reach over and around to get anything in or out. I opted not to do a wash but my son insisted and took it upon himself to take on the challenge of using the dryer. It wasn’t easy but he got it done and we left with all clean clothes. With great determination you can wash AND dry but may find it easier not to.
The PRO
Parking. This listing has its own parking spot! You can park in the driveway or on the street blocking the driveway. I recommend street parking as the driveway is a very tight squeeze. Street parking is definitely the way to go. Parking is a real challenge in all of the boroughs so if you are visiting with a vehicle I would highly recommend this listing because of its dedicated parking spot.
Sadiki herself is a very attentive and responsive host. I had a few question before and during my stay and all of her responses were timely and very helpful. My stay at her listing met all of my needs perfectly.
I would definitely recommend a stay here to anyone.
