Staying at J's was one of the best New York (Brooklyn) trips we've had. The house is beautiful and immaculate. Seriously. Very clean. You get the whole top floor and it's very private. The house feels like it was recently remodeled. Looked like it could have been straight out of an architectural magazine.

The neighborhood is incredibly charming. Brownstones line the block. Cafes and restaurants everywhere. Farmers market in the park. People in the area seemed uncharacteristically friendly for New York. It was very safe. Couldn't have felt more at home here. Tons of Subway lines within walking distance. It seemed like we could reach any part of the city without transferring. Took about 10-15 min to walk to the subways.

We left the windows open on the days it was nice. The neighborhood was quiet. Sometimes a loud truck but this was rare. A heatwave hit for the 2nd half of our trip but J has air conditioning so the apartment became a safe heaven from the heat.

Laundry was easy to do. Plenty of storage for clothes. Closet space. Honestly I can't say enough good things about the apartment.
