We had a great stay at Caroline’s! The apartment space itself is amazing - there’s a ton of room, very clean, great lighting and we loved the nespresso machine! The street parking was great - even though street cleaning happens two days a week for each side of the street, I only had trouble finding a spot on our block twice in a whole month. Caroline is a very communicative host and responds very quickly to any concerns. She is also great at checking in to make sure everything is going well.
My only complaint is that the apartment isn’t very quiet. As someone who is pretty noise sensitive, there are some things I wish I had known before: at least two to three times a week, the neighbors would be blasting music until around 1:30 in the morning. The apartment is not extremely soundproof (which Caroline said is typical of brownstones) so we were able to hear what seemed like every step above us. Caroline was conscientious about the noise and tried to keep it at a minimum and also offered to let us use the desk in her basement if we needed somewhere more quiet. However, the noise was definitely a bit distracting while working from home.
Overall, Caroline is a great host and we had a really good experience at her place!
