The apartment is very easy to find and a short walk around the corner from Kingston Throop subway station on the C line, just remember you will need to change stations if travelling from JFK airport where only the limited stop train will be available, but this is easily done and very quick.
The apartment is accessible by some steep steps and an electronic entry system. The apartment was clean and well presented, there was plenty of space to accommodate our party of 3 adults and two teenagers. The kitchen area was well equipped and the Tetley tea bags were very welcomed!
The three bedrooms are downstairs, all were all very comfortable, warm and there were no complaints. There are two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, both with showers which made life easy.
The train ride to Manhattan took around 30-40minutes, depending on where you wanted to be.
Looks can be deceptive as the surrounding area looked a bit run down but the locals we spoke to were all very friendly and we didn’t experience any issues or feel unsafe walking around and they were only too pleased to help.
There is a local supermarket a few blocks away which sold everything you needed, a few well know fast food places very close by too if you’re desperate, but some good research and help from Kenny and there are many great places to eat in Brooklyn, before or after a long day in the City.
Kenny was very friendly and responsive during the booking process and answered our questions thoroughly. Whilst there we had a contact in case of problems and an issue we had with door entry system was resolved speedily without too much drama.
Overall, if you don’t mind staying a little way out from the action, then Kennys place is ideal, great value, spacious, comfortable, clean and lots to see in Brooklyn.
