Maria is a super kind, communicative, and personable host! Her apartment is quiet, cozy, and in absolutely the best location. Seriously, the location cannot be beat. I stayed here for 1 month - no TV gave me an opportunity to revive my love of classical music on the radio. The bed is SO comfy and I slept amazing in the dark room. The apartment is right next to some famous BK food spots like Martha's Country Bakery and Sunday in Brooklyn. Domino Park is also 5 minutes away, so I could sunbathe there every morning. Some recommendations: Oslo Coffee, Maison Premier for the best cocktail of your life, and Van Leeuwen ice cream. Dream Cleaners 1 min walk away will also do a very prompt and professional wash & fold if you are here for a while.
This is an old school Brooklyn experience - the super is a sweet native NYer, all the neighbors are incredibly friendly, and the neighborhood was humming post-COVID. I absolutely loved it.
I will note the only drawback for me was the kitchen and bathroom. The photos ARE accurate, but the layout was more difficult than expected. No bathroom sink was hard, especially after or while cooking. There is also no real storage for dry food and only 1 tiny square of counter space. However, I cook most of my own meals and this may not be an issue for you, especially because some of the best food in the world is right outside the door. The bathroom size was OK for me, but if you are big or tall it may be tight. I was visiting solo and the space ended up working fine. It was definitely a worthwhile tradeoff for the LOCATION and quiet, relaxed vibe. :)
