We stayed in this brownstone for 2 weeks as a family with 3 kids 5 and under. After being to New York 10 times I would say this was by far my favourite location! Close to absolutely amazing restaurants, amenities, underground, just steps away! Even the LIRR is around the corner to take you to the most beautiful beach on Long Island. I would 100% stay in Prospect Heights again.
The apartment itself was well equipped and lots of storage for our family of 5, it also felt safe and secure. The kitchen area was nice and clean, comfortable bed and bedding, good laundry room. The garden wasn’t like the pictures, it was extremely overgrown with giant weeds which wasn’t very relaxing with young kids wanting to touch nettles and bugs all over the place, Marycatherine did say the gardener would come but he never did. I spent a lot of time bleaching the bathroom and toilet, hoovering and generally cleaning the place on arrival as it needed it! It is definitely a vintage apartment although sometimes I think that ‘vintage fittings’ is used in place of ‘old and needs replacing’. Marycatherine did sort out a few cleaning issues we had straight away, she was a good host. She even helped us out with our pizza deliveries!
Overall we had a great stay but I would probably look for something more modern next time.
