I stayed at Matthew and Dawn's home for 5 weeks this summer, and had the best experience in NYC.
First of, the hosts are the friendliest couple who were so helpful and accommodating in their communication from the very beginning. They were there to provide help during my stay but gave me more than enough private space. Big thanks!
The building is in a great location - you can't be closer to a subway station than this - 45 mins on F to 42nd-Bryant/ Times Square. Nice super market around the corner. But I ended up getting most of my grocery from the Fresh Market place (corner of Church Av/McDonald) where they have the best vegetables and amazing selection of fresh fruits. Very safe. I was walking alone around 11pm and felt safe.
The flat has all that one needs. I did a lot of cooking during my stay. There's a big fridge. Spacious, clean and simple bedroom. It faces a road so it could be noisy at night for light sleeper. But I got used to it after a few nights.
To me personally, the biggest advantage of the flat is its location in Brooklyn. 10mins subway to Prospect park or 20mins walk - the outdoor concerts and Smorgasburg food market at the weekend are incredible!
No complaints or whatsoever about this listing. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in this amazing neighborhood of Brooklyn.
