Me and my friend stayed at the Brownstone Retreat for seven nights and enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean, spacious and cozy. It actually looks even nicer in reality than in pictures. It was easy to access the apartment. The apartment is located quite close to the subway station on a calm street, takes less than 10 minutes to walk to the station. Total travel time to Manhattan around 30-40 minutes depending on where you want to go. We felt safe to walk in the neighborhood even during the nights. Neil was really kind and helpful and stored our luggage during the last day of our stay after we left the apartment. I can warmly recommend to rent this apartment!
