We were a group of eight family members attending a wedding in Brooklyn and could not have found a more suitable place in every aspect & overall value; quiet location, space, security, comfort, convenience in getting around. The apartment is very clean, spacious, modern with new furnishings and very comfortable to say the least. Superior comfort king or queen beds with fresh, clean linens and sufficient, cushy pillows in every room. Flat screens all throughout the home, including the master bathroom. Fast, separate WiFi routers at main and lower level. The nicely furnished private yard is a nice bonus and gave us all a true sense of home away from home. In short: this place is a rare find at a great value.
As for location and getting around; only a five minute walk or less to nearest subway station or grocery/deli store, cafe or pizza & dining places nearby. Chez Alex, next to grocery store just around the corner on Madison/Ralph is a must for breakfast with their home made (egg, bacon, cheese) baguettes & (ham/Swiss) croissants, chocolate cup cookies and other yummy baked specialties. Our average wait was three minutes; either Uber or Lyft for getting around Brooklyn. The subway was more convenient for exploring major sites, WTC, midtown, Soho, Central Park, etc.
Thank you Brendan for being a great host and for accommodating our early check in request as several members of our group flew in to NY on a red eye flight and really appreciated going directly to the apartment upon arrival to get some rest before the activities for that day. Your attention to detail with regard to overall quality in comfort of your place, instructions for access, use of amenities, local tips in dining, getting around etc., and specially your responsiveness to our concerns or questions was truly exceptional. We look very much forward to staying at your apartment again on future visits to New York.
