Fiona and Deran are just the best hosts. Everything about my stay was immaculate. Let me explain in bulleted points:
- I checked in after sunset and Fiona came outside to greet me at my car. There was no street parking so I handed her all 5 of my bags and she took them inside for me. I really appreciated that, given how stressful double parking is for a newbie to NYC driving!
- After I settled in on the first night, Fiona and Deran stayed up with me and we had a great chat, which I also really appreciated and enjoyed.
- They cleared a whole fridge shelf for me and also made space in one of their kitchen cabinets for me since I stayed longer than a few days!
- I love that their home is pet-friendly! My dog Zoe loved them both. Butters is the cutest dog with a huge personality and I had a blast getting to know him. I also really appreciated knowing that Zoe was safe at home while I went out and viewed apartments.
- They made AWESOME breakfasts on the weekends.
- Prospect Park is literally 30 seconds from their home. The Q train is barely a minute from their door to the subway platform. Amazing!!!
- The room I stayed in was absolutely immaculate and featured incredible interior design. Their entire apartment featured incredible interior design. I literally took inspiration notes to use while decorating the apartment I moved into. It was so clear how much time, effort, and planning Fiona and Deran put into the place. They even sat down with me on my last night and gave me an entire list of tips and tricks on how to spruce up my future apartment, which I’ll be using.
- The bathroom was always spotless and beautiful.
Anyway, look no further. Just book this place already. And thanks so much to Fiona and Deran for your amazing hospitality - I won’t ever forget it.
