We had a wonderful stay at Miriam's. The apartment is just as represented on the listing. Miriam has put together very detailed instructions which help a great deal. The location is excellent with lots of restaurants and shopping nearby and a short distance (a couple of blocks) to the train (F and G).
If you are driving into the city, this is the shortest commute I found after staying over a month in Brooklyn to Manhattan. You will take the Hugh L Carey tunnel (toll by mail) to get in and the traffic in the mornings is not that bad. However, I'm not sure how you take the toll without an EZ Pass so you might want to research that if you don't have one. There's free street parking but you will have to play musical cars depending on street sweeping days but this is everywhere in Brooklyn.
Miriam has lots of plants which we helped take care of. I have to be honest, if it were just me, it would probably be too much responsibility with my work schedule. But if you have someone that stays home during the day or has a more flexible schedule, it would be more manageable.
The master bedroom was super comfortable with a huge comfy bed and a great shower. Her kitchen is fully stocked which makes cooking easy. Air conditioning worked well on some of the hottest days of the summer. Miriam was an excellent hostess and made it very easy to communicate or resolve any issues that might come up. The neighbors are nice and friendly. The neighborhood is clean and safe. I had a great stay that felt like home and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting New York.
