Damon and Kent were wonderful hosts. The apartment is a short walk up one flight of steps which opens up to a spacious, well-appointed apartment. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware, and random foodstuff, the couch is comfy, and the bathroom is bright and clean. The bedrooms were exactly as described, with space in each to hang up our clothes, plenty of mirrors, beautiful ethnic art on the walls, and easy-to-reach outlets for charging our electronics. Parking was safe and easy, and we ate like royalty, thanks to a thoughtful list of restaurant recommendations from the hosts. A large NYC subway map is posted on the living room wall for your convenience, and the Utica Ave stop was a short 2-block walk away. There's a corner store (on the corner) which sells the basics in food and household goods, and a beautiful city park one block in the other direction. At night, the block was quiet, and although the apartment is a little on the warm side, the windows open and there is a window A/C unit you can turn on. The Wi/Fi connection was reliably available, and the TV has more channels than I could count. Damon and Kent were warm and friendly when they met us to explain the ins and out of living there. Although they live on the first floor, they have their own entrance to the building and did not disturb us at all. However, they were readily available to us for questions or concerns by text or phone. It was the perfect stay...we have nothing but good things to say about this Brooklyn oasis!
