This is a very special and wonderful stay. The location is incredible (so close to the BQ) and I spent every morning exploring Prospect Park. There are wonderful grocery stores, laundromats, coffee shops, and restaurants all around. The area is so nice and fairly priced that I’m deciding to move to a place not far away.
Rasha is a fantastic host. She is kind, communicative, honest, and caring. Her apartment comes fully stocked with everything you’d need. It also has an amazing vibe: cozy, boho, artist, traveler vibes. It is very easy to feel at home here.
As a single, young woman, I felt very safe here. There are usually clusters of men on the street who might talk to you as you walk by, but it is never hostile and I never felt unsafe. The neighborhood is a community of families where everyone knows and takes care of each other.
The building is older, so be prepared for a few things to break here and there. However, the super fixed them the day of and at no extra charge. And Rasha was extremely prompt and hands-on during these moments.
Overall, I can’t recommend Rasha’s place enough. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
