I had a wonderful stay at Gilberts place and I look forward to staying again. I felt safe in the location; even though it is right next to the BQE I saw women walking alone both at night and in the morning, and I felt safe walking around the neighborhood. Cool public art, good restaurants, and the Brooklyn waterfront and Domino Park just a few blocks away. An easy commute to lower Eastside of Manhattan. The apartment itself was perfect for my needs. The room was amply sized, with heater/air conditioner in the room, two windows for natural light, blackout curtains to keep it dark, a very comfortable bed, cozy bed linens, and enough room to roll out my yoga mat. The apartment is spacious and nicely decorated, and very clean. The water pressure was great, and the towels were soft and smelled good. Gilbert was easy to communicate with, and the entry instructions were very clear and easy. Sound sensitive sleepers may have difficulty here as there is a constant traffic hum from the BQE, but Gilbert also provides earplugs and the sound is steady, Like white noise. And it’s an excellent value. I will definitely be back!
