We stayed in Simone’s place for four months while studying remotely, and couldn’t have been happier there. The bedrooms were beautiful, comfortably appointed, and felt light and cozy. The common room made a great hanging/dining space for our household of 3, but the daybed easily could’ve slept a fourth for a shorter stay. The kitchen has been recently renovated, and it was spacious and flooded with light all day — it was also incredibly well stocked (as was the entire apartment). We made use of the blender, coffee machine, food processor, etc, and were so well supplied with dishes that we were able to cook a full Thanksgiving spread. On the few occasions that we did have a need, Simone and Perri were extremely accommodating and quick to respond. When our Wifi was lagging under the strain of simultaneous Zoom meetings, for example, Simone and Perri called the internet service the day we mentioned it and had an extender installed that evening.
We interacted most with Simone’s mother Perri, who lives on the ground floor of the house. We enjoyed getting to know her and her lovely neighbors so much, and felt safe and welcomed in the neighborhood. Crown Heights has so many amazing restaurants, shops, museums, and parks — it was an amazing neighborhood to explore, and we were never bored. Simone’s place is also located incredibly conveniently next to subway and bus lines, so it’s easy to come and go from the area as you wish. Overall, Lincoln Pl truly felt like home, and we already miss it! We would wholeheartedly recommend this stay.
