Jim’s place was exactly what this family of four needed for (what turned out to be) a seven week stay. The space is great. Three things worth noting: the bathroom has been renovated so it’s much nicer than what was shown in the listing when we booked; previous reviews said the WiFi router wasn’t in the apartment, but it is now; and the walk-in closet isn’t really shown in the listing but was an unexpected and welcome bonus. I worked from home in the space quite comfortably. Jim was an understanding and gracious host when we needed to (repeatedly) extend our stay.
For people coming from out of town, know that the location truly could not be any better. The numerous subway lines a few blocks away will take you almost anywhere in Manhattan very quickly, and you are situated in a vibrant part of Brooklyn. We live at the other end of Park Slope so enjoyed the chance to sample these nearby restaurants during our stay: Wasan for sushi, Patsy’s for pizza and pasta, Nacho Macho Taco for Mexican, Eastern District for sandwiches, and Momo Ramen for, well, ramen. The nearby bagel store is an insult to real bagels but my kids enjoyed their rainbow bagel a couple times. For a nice night out, try Sofreh or Corner Delhi. All of these spots are within three blocks!
