I stayed at MarQuerite’s place with my boyfriend for 5 days. This is a fairly nice place to stay in Brooklyn, and the neighborhood is alright. I didn’t feel unsafe while walking around and you can find some really good jerk chicken in the area. MarQuerite is great and very responsive. She even left some chocolate, fresh fruit, and flowers in the place for us which was a nice touch. The kitchen is fairly well stocked with utensils and spices etc. but unfortunately we did not have a chance take advantage of it since we were out most of the time. There were only two things that were less than ideal about this place for us. The first one was that the unit is not exactly soundproof so you can pretty much hear everything going on above. MarQuerite lives with her family (incl. 3 kids) and we could hear them running/walking and even talking. This wasn’t really a huge issue for us since we were out most of the time but it’s something to consider for those who are sensitive to noise. The other thing is that the place is a little bit further than the train than I’d like, but it’s not hard to get to, there is a bus not too far from the place that can take to right to the train but if you were to walk it’s about 17 min. Overall I’d say MarQuerite’s place is a good place to stay in Brooklyn and I’d recommend it for those who anticipate spending most of their time out and about.
