A lovely ground floor apartment in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of nice restaurants and bars. The beds were very comfortable and with the windows closed and the AC on, it was a quiet nights sleep. The biggest draw is the garden, which is as magical as it looks, with fresh herbs and even grapes! Aliza lives upstairs, and on hand if you need her. I appreciated the use of the laundry without any restrictions.
The only drawback for me was that there wasn’t enough natural light, the living area itself has no windows and the bedrooms are not bright enough to pull the light in. I suspect this is a downside to two bedroom ground floor flats in the brownstones more generally. Having the garden helped, it was sunny so I sat outside mainly. Prepare to be bitten though, I was grateful for the bug spray provided but I needed something a little stronger! It’s a 13 minute walk to the A train and 15 minutes to the J. Fine if you are spending the day in Manhattan. It definitely felt like a safe neighbourhood and very diverse and vibrant. Definitely check out Stuy Burgers for the best burgers we’ve ever had and the nicest owner. It was one of a few black owned businesses in the area. I’d also recommend Bed Vyne for cocktails.
