Joan’s place was PHENOMENAL.
My husband and I stayed there for a bit over a month and we couldn’t have been happier. The place looks exactly as good as in the pictures and actually turned out to be way bigger!
Joan is a phenomenal host. She responds to messages quickly and she always resolved anything that came up within an hour at most. Her family lives nearby so they came to help us when we needed assistance too, everyone was so welcoming and accommodating.
The space is big and comfortable, the beds are big and have soft mattresses, the pillows were good quality, there is a lot of closet and drawer space, the kitchen is nice and big, the TV is large.
We had AC which saved us during hot summer days and the apartment was overall quite good in terms of temperature even on its own.
We also stayed with a cat, and Joan was great about accommodating that and our cat loved having all that room to roam around.
The area is very nice, it’s extremely quiet so we slept very well. The block is pretty much all families with children. The subway is a short 8 minute walk away and the line directly takes you to downtown Brooklyn and then all throughout Manhattan (C train) and the J train is just a 12-15 walk away in the opposite direction for Williamsburg.
There are multiple laundromats nearby so we didn’t have trouble with laundry. While the area is mostly residential, if you walk towards the J train there are cute coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance.
The WiFi was extremely fast and allowed both my husband and I to work from home together a few times.
Honestly we are sad that the place was booked after our dates as we loved it and didn’t want to leave. Joan really managed to set up a rental that very quickly felt like home.
