What to say about Yuki and Carsten's place! It was charming and cozy, a comfortable getaway from the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn when you retired from your day. I booked Yuki's home to extend my stay in New York during my travels and I was so lucky to find it! Tucked in the midst of a quiet neighborhood, lined with trees, I found my respite.
Traveling alone, safety was of the utmost importance followed by comfort. Yuki's place fulfilled both of my requirements effortlessly. She stayed in good communication with me during my stay, the instructions provided to enter/exit the unit were easy to understand and execute, in addition to the other house rules.
The unit was clean and well appointed. I actually asked Yuki if I could check in a bit earlier than the set time, and she was kind enough to oblige - but only after the cleaning was completed. I appreciated that so much! When I entered it was spotless, smelled wonderful and was nice and cool, again appreciated since NY was experiencing a heatwave that week. Yuki also provided all of the necessary items to prepare and have meals, and the linens and bath towels/cloths were clean and smelled great.
For remote workers (like myself) ... this is a gem. Yuki and Carsten have a lovely backyard that they share with guests. I was unable to take advantage of it during my stay, but I definitely wanted to. The home is also conveniently located near two subway stops, and a myriad of nice shops, grocers and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk.
I'm a traveler that loves to get more than they expect, and Yuki's home was absolutely above and beyond my expectations. Yuki also offered storage of my luggage until the next guest check-in time (which was an awesome and kind gesture). Needless to say, I hope to stay here again in the future. Thank you for such a lovely visit, Yuki and Carsten!
