Fay’s apartment felt like a palace after three days in a cramped hotel on the Upper West Side. The master is very large with an attractive bookcase along one wall, that is cleverly designed out of cast iron pipes. You can also hang your clothes here. Fay provides a generous amount of coat hangers, which my husband and I exulted over. (It’s funny what takes on importance. The cramped hotel had three.). She is not kidding when she described this as a light filled apartment. Large windows in the master provide lots of sun, but rest assured there are interior shutters to block it out at bedtime. The wooden shutters are very attractive I might add. They appeared to have been custom made.
Everything was very clean and neat when we arrived. Bathroom has been updated. The cold faucet in sink was broken but a plumber arrived the day we left. We hadn’t complained. Fay was just on it. Kitchen is very efficient and well stocked. Nice view out of the window looking onto the rear garden and the backs of other brownstones. Nice table for eating with same view. Original art on the walls. Overall a wonderful Brooklyn experience. I would come back in a minute. The proximity to the F subway line cannot be beat.
