Lisa's place was great for us, and just what I expected based on the listing! Lisa was very responsive and helpful when we had questions about the place or recommendations in the area and she communicated clearly about check in/out. I recommend staying here and would stay here again!
Shared entry into the building, then separate entry in the downstairs apartment, while the hosts live in the upstairs. The specific location in Brooklyn was important to us for our trip. We felt safe in the neighborhood and really enjoyed having a few parks and small grocery stores nearby and access to transit. The kitchen was more spacious and had more features than we expected for an apartment in NYC, so that was great since we prepared some of our meals there. The bathroom was also better than expected for the area - full shower w/ tub, plus a medicine cabinet for toiletries storage. Multiple bedrooms are good for multiple travelers or to spread out and work remotely. Check in/out were both easy processes. Free laundry in the building was a plus, full size modern washer/dryer accessible in the basement (shared space). Window A/C units definitely did the trick while we were there during a heat wave, and there are baseboard heaters for cooler months.
