Immaculate, comfortable, spacious and quiet, it’s a classic Brooklyn brownstone evocative of old New York with beautiful woodwork, marquetry flooring, tall windows, high ceilings, gas fireplaces (not currently used), a compact, well equipped kitchen and good internet. It’s in a wonderful location. The area is full of energy from all its different cultures and has a variety of interesting shops, coffee shops, bakeries, patisseries, take outs and really fine restaurants, bike stands and gyms, like the Murder of Crows and CrossFit. The Brooklyn Museum, Botanical Gardens, Library and Prospect Park are nearby as are several subway stations
Sylvester is a very interesting man and a wonderful, solicitous host full of information and always available and helpful.
We lived for five weeks in this apartment and loved it. We would gladly return.
