Yani was a very welcoming host who was very easy to communicate with. The apartment is a fair piece from the subway, 7 blocks to either of the stations. So if you’re coming home late at night, be prepared to walk. Having stayed in the apartment, I don’t feel like the price matches the value. It was difficult to get the air circulating throughout, the stairs need some repairs, we felt that the photos were misleading, and the building smells heavily of incense. What I loved about our stay was the exposure to different lifestyles, the people that lived on the street, the proximity to parks and museums, the washer and dryer, and the scenery of the street. Crown Heights isn’t the friendliest neighborhood in Brooklyn, but I’d say Park Pl is the friendliest street in Crown Heights. All in all, I would stay here again if the price were lower. I chose Yani’s place because the photos gave the appearance of the space being larger and a bit more posh than it actually was.
