What a great place to stay in Brooklyn! Every thing about the apartment was exactly as described. The living room/dining area was cozy and welcoming. There were loads of books to read and magazines to peruse. There were plenty of channels to watch - my husband, a die hard Yankee fan, was so happy to see them on the YES channel (even if the Yankees did lose to their nemesis...the Redsox). Even though we didn’t prepare any meals, we noticed the kitchen was well equipped with anything you would need to prepare a meal - even some basic spices and condiments. There were peaches for us, as well as cream for coffee, sparkling water and a bottle of wine. The bathroom was spotless, the water hot and the shower pressure was great. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper, shower gel and shampoo/conditioner. There was a first aid kit, iron and ironing board, and a hair dryer. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. Even though it was super hot in NY the weekend we visited, the apartment was cool with its two AC window units in the front and back of the apartment. We drove from DC and parking was easy for us.
Getting around was easy - we walked to both subway stations mentioned in the description at different times during our stay. We also walked to several restaurants as well as an ice cream shop. My husband and I are a bit older, and found these strolls manageable.
Communication was great - Mary promptly responded to emails and texts.
I would definitely recommend staying with Mary and Josh!
