Marjorie's Brooklyn apartment was our first stop during our 8 day stay in the city for Pride week. Marjorie and her daughter could not have been more accommodating! Marjorie was very flexible with check-in time (she was able to meet earlier than our original planned check-in), and took her time showing us all the amenities the first-floor apartment had to offer.

Although it was on the first floor, it was very quiet, private, and we felt very secure. We couldn't even tell there was anyone living upstairs! When we first arrived, Marjorie had left a welcome sign on their chalk wall, which made us feel right at home. She also left a bottle of wine in the fridge!

Being that we would be staying for a week in NYC, we decided to stay outside the hustle and bustle of Manhattan for the first 2 nights, which turned out to be an awesome decision. The location was great, only a few blocks to the train, with innumerable cafes/restaurants/bars/bagel shops within walking distance.

The apartment remained very cool and the window AC unit in the bedroom was definitely a plus. The kitchen had any kind of utensil you would need to make a meal. VERY clean bathroom, equipped with several towels, washcloths, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, NEW deodorant and hair mousse, etc.. WIFI password and network posted on the fridge for our access, massive amounts of TV/movie channels as well. My favorite part about the apartment was that she allowed us to access the backyard area which was so spacious. There was a covered area in the back with a swing and table and chairs, beautiful plants and flowers, soccer balls (the former athlete in me had fun with those) and lounge chairs. This extra outdoor space made it feel very homey and provided an additional area to relax after a long day of exploring.

Thank you, Marjorie, for such a lovely stay! We would definitely book this spot again in future trips to NYC =)
