Devi and his pup were away during our stay, but Devi was very quick and friendly with communication in the lead up to our arrival and his girlfriend Natalie was lovely and easy to deal with during our stay.

Check-in was hassle-free and when the aircon was leaking, Natalie had it fixed the same day, no problems.

The room was just big enough for the two of us and our luggage. The aircon worked really well and was a welcome necessity for a sweltering June in NYC!

Upstairs (kitchen and bathroom) was really hot, so we didn't hang out there, but the place was clean and fresh towels were always laid out.

The room shares a wall with a second bedroom that is also rented out, but our neighbour was super quiet and polite, so the thin wall was never an issue.

The place has a lot of character - an old building with charm. The staircase up to the bathroom/kitchen is creaky, but this would only be an issue for particularly light sleepers.

Park Slope is a delightful hip and family-friendly neighbourhood - a perfect NYC base. The F Subway is a 10-minute walk away and gets you around easily. Nearby 7th Ave has gorgeous vintage shops, pretty cafes and hipster hairdressers, which we enjoyed!

We recommend joining the morning queue at Terrace Bagels on Prospect Park West for a delicious fresh bagel with a mound of cream cheese :) The lush Prospect Park is also worthy of a stroll.

Thanks to Devi and Natalie for a great stay.
