My friends and I stayed for a weekend at Althea's place and had a wonderful time! Upon arrival to Althea's, she personally walked us through the keys to the apartment, linens, bed/sofa bed situation, and even showed us how to use the shower. She also kindly left us a guidebook for navigating the amenities of the apartment and the neighborhood. She was supremely sweet and very kind. The place was just as I expected from the listing. We were a group of 4 girls and the ample mirrored spaces was really helpful when getting ready during the day.
I cannot stress enough how great the location of this place is. We were a 5 minute walk from the 2, 3, 4, & 5 MTA options, making our daily travel incredibly easy to plan out. There's a killer bagel place around the corner called Lula's Bagel that was perfect for breakfast and coffee on the go. I would definitely recommend Althea's place as well as Crown Heights for those looking to travel to NYC.
