This garden apartment is on a brownstone-lined block of peaceful Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, about a three-minute walk to the F/G trains along with plenty of food and shopping options on Smith Street. Check-in was effortless; a touchpad lets guests into the apartment with a code provided in advance by the hosts. Communication from Naama was fast and friendly, and the written materials in the apartment provided helpful local recommendations and history. There was room for our family of four, lots of nice towels and kitchenware, and despite the late winter chill, it was warm and cozy inside.
To note: there is construction noise from nearby renovations during weekdays at present (not the hosts' fault, obviously). Unfortunately, we noticed several dozen ants in the living room and bathroom during our stay. Naama was great at communicating with us about this issue and told us she brought in pest control, but unfortunately it remained. We're confident they will remedy it.
