Extremely responsive hosts residing in the lower two floors of the 3 story home. Really can’t say enough about great the hosts are.
The space itself is tastefully and artfully decorated. The two bedrooms are surprisingly large with comfortable furniture and a great workspace. The kitchen has everything one could need and served us well when many restaurants were closed or had reduced service due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The location was perfectly fine. If you’re looking for the hippest parts of Brooklyn this may not be the place for you but it really is close enough to all the essentials.
My only (small) critiques would include the following:
-The August app door lock rarely worked. We were locked out multiple times in below freezing temperatures and at one point locked in because the lock was jammed—the hosts were quick to help us get in and out when this happened but at times we avoided leaving due to fear of not being able to get back in.
-While the styling of the unit felt luxurious, some of the finishes in the apartment were rather shotty such as a power outlet in the kitchen near the sink hanging out of the wall and tile/trim in the bathroom that seemed to be falling apart.
-If you have a vehicle be prepared to move it several times a week for street cleaning (tue/fri on one side and mon/thurs on the other side) resulting in potentially moving a vehicle 4 times a week.
