Carolina's place was a dream, even more cozy and beautiful in person! The smell that people are referring to in other reviews really wasn't that bad, just wet dog kind of smell from neighbors, you only smell it in the stairwell. All of her neighbors that we met were so friendly, especially Cliff who sits on the porch sometimes and is such a good time to talk to! He played oldies and blues quite frequently during the day (never too early or too late) which we loved and felt that it gave us the ultimate Brooklyn experience. The metro is a quick walk down the street and can get to Manhattan from there, about 30-45 min commute that goes pretty fast. There is street art all over Bushwick which was very cool. Note that if you are visiting in the summer months, she does not have central air but does have a wall unit by bed and fans. We opened windows at night too for fresh air. The kitchen was fully equipped with cookware and there is grocery store down the street. When Carolina says she provides "essentials" she really means it! She had a blow dryer, towels, 2 speakers and even a guitar for us. So nice!
Checkin and checkout was super easy and Carolina always responded promptly and checked in on us. She is super sweet and wish we could be her roommate haha! My boyfriend and I absolutely recommend her cozy Brooklyn apartment! Thanks Carolina!
