My hubby and I stayed here mid June for a week and experienced the start of a New York summer. Eric's place is just as described on the site. We felt so welcomed after getting off the plane at JFK and navigating our way via the air train and subway (reasonable and doable, just got off a stop too early :)). Eric and Justin were both on hand to greet us and give us the tour of the apartment and some handy tips. The bagels, cream cheese, juice, and oats were so welcome. There was some tinned and frozen foods on hand so we didn't need to step out until we had rested.
This area in Brooklyn is on way to being reclaimed as the next 'in' place, as you walk down Lewis St to the Myrtle/Broadway station (this was where we should've gotten off) you will note some areas are better than others. The street the unit is in is great with an eclectic assortment of neighbours. We found that by the end of our stay we were being more readily greeted as we made our way to the station. The apartment is cute and quaint, an older style that Eric has furnished beautifully, as The pics on the site portray. It was so good to arrive at our 'home away from home' each evening. We usually prepared dinner when we got home and rested up ready for another awesome day of getting around as many areas of NYC as we could fit in in 1 week (still so much to see and do). It took only 15-20 mins to get into Manhattan on the Subway, most week days we could get an express train. We found Trader Joes and The Whole Foods Markets close to Subways so delicious foods were not hard to find. Tips: this is a really reasonable stay in an eclectic part of Brooklyn Eric has explained his space so well. A good idea to bring a sleeping mask and ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Keep in touch with Eric prior to your arrival for a smooth check in. Travel light if you plan to walk around, as we did. Top marks to Eric for the decor in this comfortable space. We enjoyed our stay.
