I stayed in Carmia's and Joe's apartment during some days of NYC sightseeing with my 17 yo son in early August. Renting the apartment was easy, Even though I did this from Europe with 6 hours time difference, Carmia was extremely responsive.
Getting there is easy. The apartment is close to J/Z line ( A/C is also within walking distance), so getting in and out to Manhattan is just a subway ride. Many tourists will only stay in Manhattan, this apartment gives you the chance to get a good flavour of Brooklyn life. Nearby you find a small supermarket, some local stores, small restaurants - everything you need.
on arrival day I had an issue with my cell phone connection, so Joe was already waiting in front of the apartment for us and showed us the rooms and the garden. The apartment is lovely. After being there fore like 30 minutes I realised how thoughtful it has been arranged. Everything you need is there - wireless, laundry machine ( plus detergent), kitchen, bathroom with shower gel etc.... Want a coffee? There is a can of grinned coffee waiting for you in the fridge, together with water , orange juice, syrup etc. it is those things that make the stay there outstanding. What else should I mention?
Carmia and Joe - two heartwarming young people - a great pleasure to meet them. The excellent towel, the good bed, the interior of the living room, etc. A wonderful place.
When I return to NY, this will for sure the first apartment I will check for availability.
