Altaf's place is a great pet-friendly and affordable option. 10/10 location - Ridgewood is quiet neighborhood vibe with amazing restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby- plus the M to Brooklyn + Manhattan is less than a 5min walk. Altaf was an extremely friendly and communicative host. We stayed for about two weeks, and he quickly accommodated when we needed extra supplies. Safe and secure building. Great value as the place can sleep 4 people comfortably (although we did not use the second bedroom, it provided a nice area for storage). The place was well-stocked with cookware, towels, etc. The king bed and pillows are very comfortable. The split apartment layout was not an issue. It was extremely hot during our stay, and our only wish is that there were AC units on both sides of the split apartment. Overall , I would highly recommend, especially for a longer stay like ours! Thanks Altaf!
