My husband and I were visiting Brooklyn and booked this apartment as it was within walking distance of our family. The booking request was completed very quickly and Fred was warm and welcoming when we arrived for check in. The apartment is well represented in the listing and is comfortably furnished, nicely stocked with a supply of kitchen staples, bath towels and toiletries, and is extremely clean. The neighborhood is quiet but there are ample shops and restaurants just around the corner. It's a really great space and an easy walk to the Prospect Park area.
The only downside to this apartment was the difficulty in finding parking in the neighborhood. We planned to walk or use public transit during our stay so didn't need to have the car close by but after a 20 minute search for a spot we ended up leaving our car with our family. We later discovered there is a new building with a parking garage close by so you may want to ask Fred about that if you will require parking. Parking anywhere in NY is a challenge and this minor inconvenience is not a deal breaker. We hope to stay with Fred and Joan on future visits.
