Our time at the Lincoln Parlor was everything we'd hoped. The appeal of the listing images is not exaggerated. The picturesque street, architectural details and decor were absolutely charming. Our previous time in New York had always been in Manhattan but now that we've tried Brooklyn I'd definitely go back.
Althea and her husband were gracious and very hospitable. She was always accessible but never obtrusive and the mouth watering smells that came up from her kitchen into the foyer were very welcoming.
We had the entire floor to ourselves with every convenience. There was a fully appointed kitchen you could host guests from. Althea has added many personal touches. A beautiful gift basket greets you upon arrival. Plenty of soft, fresh linens, toiletries if you've forgotten anything and charm for days.
The neighborhood was easy to navigate and offered a variety of conveniences. The 3 subway is literally around the corner for quick access around the city. Down the street is a great bagel shop. One stop over on Franklin we found an amazing Caribbean restaurant. We were often out until after 8pm and never had any issues coming or going from the brownstone.
Overall it's was an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable experience we will be happy to repeat in the future. Thanks again Althea and Edwin!
