Amazing location, a sunny, bright apartment and excellent host!
Our family of four (2 kids, 2 adults) stayed for a week in Frances’ apartment in Brooklyn. The location is perfect, very close to the Atlantic Avenue/Barclays center subway station, a perfect hub to go exploring. We could hop into Manhattan in the morning (15-20 minutes’ ride), come home for a quick afternoon nap, then head back again in the evening. The neighborhood itself also has lots to offer, even the Vietnamese place next door was pretty good.
The apartment is pretty spacious with high ceilings and large sash windows that let in lots of light. I loved the fully equipped kitchen, with brand-new Greenpan cookware and a large fridge. Everything was super clean, we had plenty of linens and towels. We especially appreciated small touches like good quality toilet paper, earbuds & cotton pads in the bathroom, and paper towels & ziplock bags in the kitchen.
The only small downside was on the first night we arrived (Saturday), a club nearby / downstairs was pretty loud, and some of the thumping carried up to the front bedroom. But we put the kids in the back bedroom, which was very quiet, and there was no more noise for the rest of the week.
As a host, Frances was excellent. She was super accommodating to our various requests, responded incredibly quickly, and had plenty of recommendations for the neighborhood. Thank you Frances for a great stay!
