this is a beautiful space in a simply fantastic neighborhood. the beds were sooo comfortable, and the smaller bedroom is bigger than it looks in the pics. lovely kitchen (could have better spices) with great cooking, eating ware. fabulous shower and a beautiful outdoor space. we felt very comfy staying there and felt very lucky being in that neighborhood. communication was very good with the hosts, who live upstairs and were kind enough to come down to answer some minor questions. there is construction going on to the facade of the home-but these are literally the quietest and most respectable (and skilled, obviously) construction workers on the planet. it was not a problem at all and actually impressive to see the work they are doing. you can walk to yummy yummy food and grab a citibike and you are 15 lovely minutes prospect park or about 30 minutes to the ferry in brooklyn heights. i have no idea why you would not stay here
