My husband and I can't recommend this apartment enough for NYC travelers. Carlo met us with the key upon check-in, gave us a quick tour, and let us know he was available by phone for any questions we had. The apartment was very clean and I have to say out of all the rentals we've stayed in, this one had the most comfortable bed which is important to any exhausted traveler.

The apartment was quiet and the bedroom is tucked away in the back of the apartment with an entrance to the lovely garden patio. The birds chirping in the morning were louder than the faint sound of the train in the distance (but not loud enough to wake us). We had no problem getting enough sleep here. We were attending a wedding in Prospect Park and the location for us was ideal. The neighborhood was close to many shops, bars, restaurants and most importantly, the subway. Most of our neighbors seemed to be younger families and we felt extremely safe staying there.

Carlo, thanks again for allowing us to enjoy your gem of an apartment in Gowanus! We will keep you in mind next time we're planning a trip to the city.
