3 girlfriends and I went here from May 16-21. It exceeded all of our expectations and we had a wonderful stay. The apt is the whole first floor of a townhouse on a tree lined street in a neighbourhood of more of the same. There was a full kitchen, 3 big bedrooms with one bedroom having a couch that one of used as a comfy bed! A full big table and chairs and nice back patio with trampoline for kids. There was all we needed for a stay, iron, hair dryer, coffee maker, towels, even tons of products and necessities. It is a great base for a stay in nyc as it is 3 minutes from the 3 train. We found it to be about 40 minutes to get to downtown, so keep that in mind.
Verena and her family were away most of the weekend which was probably a good thing since we made lots of noise laughing our heads off. :) We met them Monday afternoon and they were so friendly and accommodating-getting a taxi for us the next morning early and also checking in with us earlier in the weekend to make sure everything was ok.
This worked out perfect for us, we had lots of space to move around, a kitchen for breakfast and our own bed each. We loved the bay windows, there was a flat screen tv and cable and dvd, and air conditioning if needed. The wifi worked excellent and was easy to log on. This was very handy since we are from Canada and was a good way to keep in touch back home.
There is a corner store very close as well as a smaller grocery store. We found it quite convenient to pick up wine and beer at the corner!
We recommend it highly to anyone needing a place in Brooklyn.
