Ronit's apartment is nicely remodeled and the bed is comfortable! Ronit was also very quick to respond to any communications- a truly great host. She also accommodated us during a house renovation, along with our cat even though it's not her policy. We really appreciated this.
The train is about a 15 minute walk from the apartment with 30 minutes into Manhattan, making this place a great option for adventurous travelers! The neighborhood is pretty residential, not much around in terms of activity, nightlife, restaurants, etc.. Only a couple of corner deli's. Consider this while you're out and about if you wish to pick stuff up for your stay.
Some things of note-
- The noise. There seems to be very little or no insulation between the floors and it's very noisy if you're there during the day. This may not be a problem for most travelers, as they should be out enjoying Brooklyn and NYC during the day anyway. I'd recommend wearing earplugs if you wish to sleep in a bit.
- I'd recommend checking with Ronit before booking if the outdoor space is important to you. It was the main reason we booked with Ronit but it was not available during our stay. It has potential to be quite nice.
Overall, this was a fine place for the week and I would recommend as a great option for staying in the heart of brownstone Brooklyn!
