Just perfect. There are thousands of apartments available in Brooklyn. I’m sure that’s one of the best. We stayed here for three month with a newborn and had a flawless experience.
Apartment: Clean, bright, beautiful new furniture. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need even for more sophisticated cooking (we prepared a turkey for Thanksgiving). Spotless clean when we arrived. And most important: the two beds are super comfortable. The AC in every room is a strange american thing - they’re quite noisy, but cool down the rooms properly when it’s hot outside. Instead, the heating during wintertime works perfectly, turning the apartment in a cozy warm home.
Location: I worked at JFK airport, so it was a convenient 20 min car ride every morning. When visiting Manhattan, 1 hour minimum public transport time in total is needed. The L Train is in close walking distance, 2 and 5 trains a 10 min bus ride away. There is even a direct Express bus (BM2) to downtown Manhattan departing one block from the apartment.
Hosts: You can’t ask for better hosts. Roshumba was very helpful before arrival, answering every message quickly. We never met her in person, but her parents and sister living downstairs are so nice people. Very welcoming, but leaving 100 % privacy if we didn’t ask for anything. Nice chats from time to time. They even prepared some Jamaican breakfast before we left. Thanks!!
Parking: Not that easy, but I found a close spot on the streets every evening without circling around.
100 % recommended for following guests. Staying in Roshumbas’ apartment was a treat.
