John and Becky’s place was an ideal home base for our NYC trip. We were able to easily navigate public transport around Brooklyn and into Manhattan using both buses and trains. Everything in the apartment was as described and as pictured. John replied immediately to logistical questions, and kindly arranged for us to drop off our bags early in the day, enabling an additional afternoon of Manhattan sightseeing.

We are selective Airbnb users, and felt particularly comfortable that the hosts are established neighborhood business owners and present on the property. (Our local friends were impressed when we mentioned the name of their restaurant!) The garden apartment has a separate, gated entrance & felt very secure and quiet. We loved being in a residential area of Park Slope. The neighborhood is pedestrian friendly (including in the evenings) & we did not notice any significant street noise. We heard only minimal noise from above (just footsteps) and, as promised, their friendly dog, Charlie, barked briefly every time we entered the courtyard.

We enjoyed our stay and will recommend this listing to friends & family traveling to Brooklyn!
