We loved staying in Linda's garden apartment in a gorgeous Brooklyn Brownstone!
The location was perfect. It is close to multiple subway stops so that getting to the 9/11 Memorial, Broadway theatre, Prospect Park and the adjacent Brooklyn Museum is a piece of cake. If you enjoy a lovely neighborhood walk, it is an easy stroll to Montague, Atlantic and Court streets where we enjoyed great food and shopping. We loved the close proximity to The Brooklyn Promenade, one of the highlights of the trip. Before you know it you are in DUMBO gazing at the iconic Brooklyn Bridge!
Linda is a fantastic host. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome bottle of wine and cold waters in the fridge. We also made use of her personally compiled guide, especially the dining recommendations, as well as a good selection of area guide books.
While the large sitting room is nice, we found ourselves most content in the "bedroom/office." The wi-fi is excellent and consistent throughout the apartment! We slept like logs in that comfy bed. The air conditioning was much appreciated on a couple of muggy afternoons so that we never felt stuffy. Bonus: I can and do manage steps, but the ramp made everything extra easy for me, an unexpected perk.
The apartment has a beautiful large bathroom and dressing area with everything we needed and more; stacks of towels, extra pillows, lovely soaps, extra supplies of all sorts, ironing board and iron, plenty of hangers. We felt like we were home!
Kudos to Linda's assistant, Jovana, as well. She was delightful and gracious, even when I texted a question late on a Sunday evening! All in all, this was one of our best airbnb experiences. We would happily stay there again.
