Julia’s house is in the perfect location, a peaceful neighborhood with garden and tree-lined streets, lots of restaurants and little boutiques and convenient to the F, G, and R trains. Even on July 4th when people set off a big fireworks display, it was over by ten pm and it was easy to sleep peacefully, more so than any other place I’ve stayed in this city. It is one of the cleanest neighborhoods in all of Brooklyn, and you will be spoiled for choice for good coffee, bagels, bakeries and outdoor dining. Regarding the house, it is a good size, and stylish decor, original midcentury pieces. The air conditioning upstairs in the bedrooms works very well. We didn’t do much cooking, but the kitchen is a good one. I personally found the beds very comfortable (firm, the way I like it), and plenty of pillows. The bathrooms were great too. We didn’t use the outdoors much but it seemed like a great refuge. The WiFi is very fast, plenty of places to plug in devices. A person could work remotely here. Overall, I recommend this home to families especially. The home feels very safe. This neighborhood is where I would choose to live if I moved to New York.
