We were honored to be the first guest in this brand new listing, an incredibly well and stylishly new refurbished brownstone in a very convenient location, just two blocks off (less than 5 minutes walk) from Franklin Ave Subway station, which is a major station in Brooklyn (trains 2, 3, 4, 5), about 15-20 min into Manhattan.
The apartment, with a separate entrance is brand new and very well equipped, with stunning bathroom, amenities such as Nespresso machine (with capsules & creamer etc), cocktail shaker, fridge, washer/dryer and utensils to make a meal, although why would you if you have all the food options at your door steps. The bedroom is towards the garden side, which makes it a very quiet oasis in the midst of bustling Brooklyn, be prepared for a good night's rest. We also had the pleasure of enjoying the back yard swimming pool, which is a rare treat in NYC (although seasonal).
Thomas, the host, is absolutely lovely, quick to respond, very helpful and accommodating with our requests. He helped us finding our ways around and gave us recommendations for the area, we realized we were only foot steps from the Brooklyn Museum. Although a garden level apartment, it feels very spacious and is very nicely decorated and well appointed, certainly enough closet space to stay for a while or shop all day long.
All in all we give this place 5* across all criteria and we cannot wait to go back, we may just make this our new home away in NYC!
Thanks for having us Tom and Jon, we will be back.
