Nice overall stay in a very quiet and suburban area of Brooklyn. The host was very accommodating and always quick to respond to messages - contactless check in and out went very smoothly without any issues, and it was very convenient to check ourselves in whenever. The queen sized bed and pull out couch were great for our group of three and there’s plenty of space in the lower level apartment. We also enjoyed the Smart TV in the main bedroom the hosts provided for us (got to watch some Netflix and decompress after a long day out). The two air conditioning units were also great to recover from the hot summer NY heat.
I would say that public transportation is more of a 10 minute walk as opposed to 5 - and the L train that connects this area to the rest of Brooklyn/Manhattan is the last stop of the station (Canarsie) - meaning that the commute into the city if you’re looking to go into Manhattan will be upwards of an hour so be sure to know that! Since it was my group’s first time traveling in the area we weren’t aware of how far it is from the city, but the overall location and area of the place felt safe and quiet.
Our only concern with the place was that the floors were not as clean as we would have hoped. There was a broom in the kitchen so we ended up doing our own sweep of the two main living rooms just to get some dust and dirt off the floor, and we wore socks the entire time inside the apartment just as a precaution. The bathroom, however was very clean.
Overall a nice and inexpensive stay compared to other places closer to the city - just comes at the cost of being a little bit further away!
