Babajide's place met our expectations and more! I can't begin to explain how great of a place this was in terms of what it had for us, safely and comfortably accommodating all EIGHT of our friends with a kitchen, CLEAN bathroom and linen. There were 3 beds, all of which sleep 2 comfortably and one queen size futon which was very comfortable as well. The layout of the room might be confusing from the pictures, but it was spaced out really nicely and there are two entrances which is nice if you're travelling with a big group with different plans.

The location could not be more perfect, it is right next door, less than a minute walk, to the train station, Prospect park, and takes 15 minutes to get to manhattan's canal street or 20 min or so to mid town. There was absolutely no sound or disturbance from the subway's no rumbling whatsoever which was great as I am a light sleeper. After a long day of walking and exploring New York, I really appreciated the fact that the subway station was SO close to our apartment and I didn't have to trek home after getting off at Prospect park. Also with regards to other amenities in the area, brooklyn museum, brooklyn zoo, brooklyn botanical park and prospect park are all within a 5-20 minute walk, with prospect park being the closest. During the weekends in the spring (and summer?) there is a large food market held in prospect park called Smorgasburg every Sunday, amazing food and great vibes. Also if you would like to cook, there are two grocery stores within a 3 minute walk of the apartment, when you exit the apartment wholesome market is on the right and Western Beef supermarket is on the left. Wholesome market is a more expensive, very nice organic grocery outlet they also have a deli great for breakfast.

Last of all, Babajide was probably one of the most friendly, accommodating hosts we could ask for. We arrived at 7am in the morning and he got the room ready as soon as he could for us once his previous guest checked out and offered to hold our bags for us in the meantime. We got to check in at 1pm, which we were delighted by. We had last minute requests for three extra friends to stay with us and he made sure it was attended to, brought extra towels, sheets etc. as soon as he could. He was always responsive, very easy to communicate with and made sure our every need was met. Could not have wished for a better trip to Brooklyn, thank you so much for an amazing stay!
