A five star plus stay in this apartment. This 2 bedroom ground floor brownstone apartment is larger than most in the area as the second bedroom is an extension at the rear of property. The second bedroom was the perfect office for our 2 month stay.
The apartment has been renovated and is fresh and clean with quality furniture and comfortable beds. A small but smart bathroom with an adjacent dressing room / closet area separates the living room and large main bedroom.
The heating is under floor radiant heat (the best kind) and AC is window/wall units in each room which are very effective. The entryway is very private and is a good size to store coats and shoes etc. The kitchen is clean, well equipped and has good appliances. As with all townhouses/brownstones there is some noise from the upper floors but this was very minimal based on other experiences.
The laundry is in the basement via a private staircase. The living room faces the rear garden which is nicely paved and is shared with the hosts. Our dog loved the garden and meeting the hosts' dogs.
Of course the location is wonderful - close to subway, shops, restaurants, bar and cafes along Smith and Courts Streets in Carroll Gardens.
The highlight of our stay was getting to know Paul and Ewa who are so friendly, kind and welcoming. Paul makes delicious dumplings too! We look forward to staying in touch with them.
