This is a slightly complicated review to write. First the good. The location is right across the street from my son and his family, so what’s not to like? For those who don’t have immediate family across the street, it is still a nice neighborhood in Brooklyn, close to transportation. The apartment has clearly been recently outfitted to be an Airbnb. It has all new furnishings, cooking utensils, etc. The landlords want guests to have a good experience and are generally responsive. When we erroneously thought that the bathroom sink was stopped up (we did not realize how the plug worked), they sent a plumber and refused reimbursement when we realized that it had been our mistake.
It seems to have been outfitted recently, and I sent the landlord a private note on a few tweaks (like a nightlight and some shelving) that could make it better. I will assume that they will try to address those. The apartment is two rooms that are half below grade (i.e. a basement apartment). The bedroom, which faces the street, has double pane windows and so is generally quiet with a bit of noise from the foot traffic outside. The kitchen/living area has no windows; it has a common wall with the apartment next door that is quite thin. If you have one of the guests sleeping on the fold out couch, be prepared to hear phone conversations at 5:30 am.
Bottom line, it is a great place to have as a base to visit Brooklyn or Manhattan, it is clean and well furnished, but it is not necessarily a place where you would want to spend a “lost weekend” indoors with your partner.
