The check in was smooth. I was promptly let into the premises by Malose the housekeeper. The entire apartment is immaculately clean.
One of the main reasons I booked in Brooklyn was the proximity to a semi formal event I planned on attending once I was settled in. I confirmed with the host that an iron would be available and she stated that I should inform the house keeper once I checked in.
Upon asking Malose he provided it to me. The iron looked extremely worn. I was a bit apprehensive about using it initially but as my dress was wrinkled I needed to use it. I put it on the lowest setting and began pressing my dress. After five minutes of ironing , the iron stuck/snagged my dress scorching it completely. There were three noticeable holes left in the garment. I immediately told the housekeeper and he looked at me strangely not acknowledging what transpired or saying anything even to offer words of comfort.
Being that the holes were prominent on a white dress I could no longer go to the engagement. I would strongly suggest walking with your own iron or steamer.
Apart from this fiasco. I did have a pleasant, albeit short stay in Brooklyn (I only booked for a night). The apartment is situated in the heart of Bedford Stuyvesant. There are lovely eateries, delicatessens, and bars & restaurants relatively close to the apartment
