This is the best deal you can get for a great location in Brooklyn! I stayed here for almost 2 weeks in August and it truly felt like a temporary home.
The apartment is very large and spacious for an inexpensive NY 1br, and the amenities are all fine. Nice tub shower and good kitchen with a gas stove.
Awesome location with Prospect Park literally across the street (the building entrance is even situated exactly at a signalled crosswalk!) and it’s very close to the B and Q lines. Cool neighborhood, good groceries nearby, many great and interesting local bars and restaurants, plus a whole slew of mom’n’pop places everywhere. Check out the drum circle in the park on weekends!
Kamilah is a lovely person who was so easy and accommodating to my situation and any needs that arose. Very responsive and kind host! Lovely touch with the small “welcome basket” including a bottle of rosé already in the fridge!
2 realities to be aware of:
- because the Q train runs right past the building there is a perceivable amount of train noise in the apartment, but I got used to it. more noise sensitive guests should be aware!
- if you’re here in the summer, there is technically A/C, but it’s only one window unit for the whole place so if you like to hang out or sleep in a place that has perfectly cool temperature control this won’t be that.
