Richard is a gracious host. I met him at our check-in and he is pleasant & professional. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The apartment was clean. The window AC unit cools the place nicely (my husband and I were visiting at the end of May- first week of June).
Parking can be inconvenient if you have driven into the neighborhood. We were lucky that NYC Alternate Side Parking was suspended for the holiday (the end of Ramadan) -the car was parked in the shade at the end of the block & didn’t need to be moved during the three day stay.
The Q subway station is a close walk. Very convenient. We enjoyed traveling down to Coney Island to walk the boardwalk on a sunny day. On another day, we chose to walk through the Flatbush malls neighborhood and stroll past beautiful houses and gardens. Many of the houses have been featured in tv and film. I would recommend the Ox Tavern and nearby the Milk and Honey cafe for memorable meals.
The Q train does pass in front of the kitchen window (as another guest noted) but I enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table listening to the train while enjoying a morning coffee. The hallway from the kitchen, then bathroom to the bedroom offered enough sound barrier that sleeping was fine. This place is a great value and I would book again.
