My daughter and I stayed at Trevor’s apartment August 5 to 13. The apartment is on the ground floor of a three-story rowhouse. You descend half a flight of stairs and enter through a door that takes you from the exterior into a small interior hallway. I loved it! RESERVATION/COMMUNICATION: Grade A. Trevor was very effective at communication. He answered my e-mails and text messages very promptly. When we arrived he met us at the property on time and showed us around. Trevor was forthright in answering my questions and made me feel comfortable dealing with him. Checking in and out were easy. PRIVACY/HOSTING: Grade A. The entrance and the unit itself are very private. For being in the middle of Brooklyn the apartment was surprisingly quiet. I couldn’t tell most of the time that anyone else lived in the house. Trevor was there when we needed him but not intrusive. SUPPLIES: Grade A. The apartment had everything we needed. It was well stocked with cutlery, plates, glassware, cookware, towels, linens, etc. The coffee and condiments were a nice touch. REPRESENTATION: Grade A-. The apartment was as it was represented in the advertisement and photos. However, Trevor told me the sofa made into a bed. The sofa is way too hard and bumpy to sleep on. AMENITIES: Grade A. The amazing thing about the apartment was the private yard in the back. It has a wooden privacy fence and a patio with chairs. Where else in NYC can you find an apartment with a private yard and patio? The apartment has a cozy, homey feel. That having been said, I had two minor complaints: (1) the shower curtain needs a curtain liner; and (2) the faucet for the kitchen sink needs to be fixed. NEIGHBORHOOD/LOCATION: Grade B. The immediately surrounding neighborhood is pretty quiet and feels safe, but there are areas surrounding it that don’t feel safe. TRANSPORTATION TIPS/SUGGESTIONS: The closest subway station is the J train station at Myrtle Ave. However, that station is about a 9-block walk, and frankly if you’re walking at night you travel through some areas that feel unsafe. Here are my suggestions: 1. If using the J train, exit at Flushing Ave. Next to the station is Woodhull Hospital (corner of Broadway & Marcus Garvey Blvd.). In front of the hospital, take the B15 bus to Quincy St. Total amount of walking: 2 blocks. To get to the J train from Trevor’s, catch the B15 bus northbound on Lewis Ave. at Quincy and get off on Broadway at Flushing Ave. 2. Another option is to take the B or Q train (better than the J if headed to midtown Manhattan or Queens; going outbound those trains take you to Coney Island). To get to that station, take the B52 bus westbound on Gates Ave. (the street just south of Quincy) at Marcus Garvey Blvd. Exit the bus at the corner of Fulton & Flatbush Ave. Right around the corner is the DeKalb Ave. metro...
