If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Brooklyn, look no further, this is the place for you.
My significant other and our son have been guests at several AirBnB and this is the best we have experienced . We stayed at Jamel’s place for two weeks.
We had a private entrance to a basement apartment. Although it was studio, there was a separator to divide the living room space and the bedroom. The check in instructions were sent to us before our arrival . Our flight got in on time however there was a baggage delay which made us arrive at the place much later than anticipated . Jamel met us outside and even helped us carry our luggage inside.
Communication before, during and even after our stay kept flowing and this clearly shows that Jamel is very warm and kind hearted person. There was a notice on a whiteboard that included the WiFi password, the location where we can find extra blankets etc.
Children toys were available and conveniently located in a storage box which added to our trip as our son was kept entertained. In addition to the programming on tv, a firestick was available.
Did I mention that the place is really clean. It’s comfortable to the point where you can actually call it home. If you’re traveling to New York, this is definitely the place for you. The amenities available were well thought of such as qtips, first aid kit , towels , shower cap, bathing rags, toothbrush , bar soap , body wash and the list goes on.
In the absence of a stove, we were able to utilize the fridge and microwave for our breakfast and dinner and street food outside is really good. Cups and tea bags were available for making tea. We were able to get Caribbean food at best bites restaurant which is like 5 minutes walk for a good price. There’s also a laundry mart nearby.
Jamel invited us for dinner one night and we found that our host and his family are really wonderful people which added to our experience.
We also love the location as the bus (5-10 minutes) and train (15-20 minutes ) are within walking distance. We were also able to walk to Flatbush and Utica shopping areas. Kings County Hospital is also walkable and we were able to take one bus from his location to Kings Plaza mall, really convenient.
The futon couch was able to fold down into a bed which provided added space for our family of three. The electric fireplace is really calming and kept us warm during the Fall.
Thank you again to Jamel and his family for the hospitality, we will definitely book again
