I had a 3 week stay in this stylish basement apartment and it suited my purposes perfectly and as such I have no hesitation in recommending it. The neighbourhood is welcoming and there are plenty of options to eat out or pick up a bottle of wine and fresh ingredients to prepare in the well appointed kitchen. Several public transport options to Manhattan or other Brooklyn neighbourhoods are a 5 minute walk from the apartment. It is also an easy and pleasant walk to large parks, Bedford Ave and the East river even in chilly December! The sleeping arrangements were particularly good. The bedroom is separated from the open plan living area and there is a comfortable fold out lounge / bed in addition to a generous couch and chair in the living area. My daughter visited from New Haven on the weekends and there was still plenty of space and she confirmed the mattress on the fold out bed was comfortable. Also, the bathroom was well lit and the shower terrific. Finally, it is testament to how well appointed the apartment is that I did not need to call upon Ella for anything during my stay. Nevertheless, I knew that she would be available for me as all communications we had prior to my visit and subsequently as I was leaving were both prompt and informative.
