We loved our ten-day stay at Evelyn's place, which was a wonderful cross between a boutique hotel (impeccably clean, excellent amenities, thoughtful art) and a cozy home. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, including five different ways to make coffee, and the bedroom was a peaceful space, with a skylight and glass doors opening into the backyard. And there was (brace yourselves, fellow New Yorkers) a washer-drier and a dishwasher. Moreover, Evelyn was a kind, responsive host who made us and our labradoodle very welcome. Carroll Gardens is a delightful place to stay and, if you mind the alternate side of the street rules, includes parking. We would definitely stay again.
