My husband and I stayed in this cosy basement flat for just over a week. It is situated in a safe and quiet area of Brooklyn and there are a couple of nice cafe's, places to eat (tacos/pizza/french) and a small supermarket either right around the corner or within a short walking distance.

There are also 2 subways near by which made travelling easy. Subway G line is a 3 minute walk around the block - we didn't find it to be super frequent - and subway C is around 10 minutes walk. The transfer from G to C/A is very easy (same platform) and it depends where you want to go (Manhattan is big) but for us the average ride to Manhattan took 35 minutes 'door to door'.

Highly recommend checking out 'Dough' for a morning treat if you stay here (it's a couple blocks away) - amazing doughnuts! 1 stop on the G line will take you to Bergen Street where there were a lot of nice bars, cafe's, restaurants and a great supermarket called 'Trader Joe's.

The flat looks as nice as it does in the pictures. It has its own private entrance and it was easy to pick up the key in order to get into the flat. The flat has a very well equipped kitchen - we loved the 'whirly pop' maker too - and there were lots of towels provided! Bread, eggs and jam had been left for us on our arrival which was a lovely touch! The bedroom backs onto a residential road and so there was some traffic noise and being a basement flat there was some noise from upstairs, but on the whole the place was a cool and quiet retreat. The projector in he living room is cool and we liked watching American TV or a movie when we got back to the flat after a day of sightseeing. The flat was very clean and the bed was very comfortable!

We only met Dahrehn once, but he was very friendly and was very prompt in replying to our texts or emails. Guides for the local area and how to work things in the flat were provided by Dahrehn and Shannon were v helpful.

We would highly recommend this flat!
