A generous host and a warm home! I stayed at Joni's for a month during COVID, so I was mostly home working and occasionally going out. The house is as pictured, but exceeds expectations in how much it feels like a home. Joni generously makes available most of what you might need even for a long stay. The house has all equipments needed for cooking; I used the red table to work; and the bedroom has an AC that makes it much cooler and more comfortable. There's also an air purifier and all cleaning equipments needed.
The neighborhood seemed safe and has tons of little delis/bodega for quick grocery stops; you can also find bigger stores like stop & shop / trader joe's within a 20min bike ride (there's a citi bike stop within 4minutes walking!). I didn't explore the neighborhood restaurants/bars much, but you would be able to find nice places within a 20 min walk. I only went to Manhattan once during my stay, it was about a 35min car ride to Chelsea; when COVID isn't an issue, one would be able to use public transport.
Joni is very nice, responsive, generous, and very considerate. The first night in the apartment there was a water leak in the apartment due to a pipe problem. She replied within minutes, sent help within an hour, permanently solved the issue by the next morning, and refunded me for the inconvenience of workers in the apartment. As I needed to extend my stay but her place wasn't available, she also recommended alternatives in the neighborhood and was flexible in checkout.
Overall, would highly recommend this for a Brooklyn stay, a warm home that works well even for families.
