I did not get to meet Julien, but Kendra was so friendly and welcoming, and she was very helpful in working with us to accommodate our uncertain arrival time. The apartment is new and immaculate. For a garden apartment there was a lot of natural light. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the bedroom was away from the street so it was very quiet. (There is a second bedroom, which can accommodate an inflatable bed, and a foldout couch in the living room.) Although we didn't use the kitchen, it seemed well-equipped for at least basic cooking. We like to walk, and walked over to Prospect Park, which is a gem of Brooklyn. The architecture of the brownstones in Kendra's neighborhood are beautiful, which makes walks very enjoyable. The subway is a 10-minute walk, and there are Citi Bikes (bike share) nearby to use as well. Lots of great coffee spots, restaurants, and grocery stores are nearby. We had a nice breakfast at Brown Sugar. There is no TV in the apartment, but there are games and some books to entertain you should you decide to stay inside one day. We would definitely consider staying here again.
