This spacious and pristinely clean apartment is beautifully outfitted with stylish and comfortable furnishings. It is a below-street-level apartment, which you access by four very steep steps down, so very tall people and people with a hard time on stairs should be cautious. Inside, the floor is of tasteful, high end porcelain tile and area rugs; recessed ceiling lighting and lamps if you prefer indirect light. The decor is simple, elegant and minimalist, with a large screen tv and a comfortable seating area, and also a perfect lounge chair for reading. There are two beds in the bedroom, a double and a queen, and a wire rack for hanging clothes. This is not a space for home cooks--there is no kitchen--but there is a coffee maker and all the basic amenities for a simple breakfast or lunch-on-the-go. Location is great: you can take a beautiful short walk to the eateries and organic groceries on Cortelyou Rd.; easy walk to good breakfasts and coffee (Lark or Der Pioneer on Church Ave), both major subway lines are about a 10 minute walk. There's a truly great pizza place (Wheated)right at the corner, next to a cool West Indian Roti shop(Suzy's). Halle the host and family, and dog, live right upstairs, and she is friendly, kind and very responsible. During my stay there was a downpour while I was away. When I returned she let me know that the bathroom had flooded but there is a sensor in it so she came down and took care of it. I could see no trace of any water by the time I had returned! All-in-all a delightful, convenient and welcoming place to stay in Brooklyn.
