I can get wordy so I'll break my review down into house, location, and host.
First, the house....
The bed linens and towels were clean and fresh. The beds were super comfy and silent meaning they don't squeak when getting up in the middle of the night which helped my kids stay asleep. Speaking of that, the walls are nicely insulated against outside noise so its pretty quiet inside. Plugs were plentiful so all of our electronics could be charging at once. Rooms were clean and spacious, bathroom included, which is particularly important to me. Plenty of room for the four of us to relax in various spots without feeling cramped. Gabe has made excellent use of the space. There was plenty of shelving or counter space in all of the rooms to unpack our belongings. Conveniently placed hooks for hanging stuff in all the right locations. Little comforts, and things like umbrellas that you end up needing are already there. Creatively decorated and fully stocked. We literally did not need anything during our stay. The overall aesthetic of the house is city cool and smartly accented.
Now for location....
The neighborhood was safe and quiet at night, even during the weekend. Locals are friendly. The J train is so close which is the line we mostly took while we were there. Can easily walk to several food/shops as Gabe outlined in the listing but also a lot more. Overall very convenient and walkable area.
Last but not least was our wonderful host, Gabe.
From the listing, to the house full of helpful labels and guides, to our texts and messages he gave us so much helpful info that we didn't need to ask anything. He checked in to make sure all was well and made it clear that he was available if needed. He's warm and respectful and has put a lot of effort into making sure his guests have a nice stay. Had the best time and will look back fondly on the memories we made. Thank you Gabe for being an awesome host!
