We've just returned from our 3rd stay at this lovely apartment - so perfect, in every respect - that we plan our travel to New York based upon being able to stay here.
The apartment is spacious, bright and beautiful. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Nicely chosen furnishings. Happy colors. Wonderful natural light all day long. Sparkling bathroom with a nice, deep tub and great shower. Awesome bed.
This location is ideal. Wonderful walking neighborhood, with beautiful architecture, great restaurants and shops. Just around the corner from one of the best metro stations; and an easy walk to Dumbo and the East River Ferry. Either way, it is a quick ride to Manhattan. Or simply walk in, over the Brooklyn Bridge.
Mark and Laura are superlative hosts; always happy to answer questions and make suggestions about where to go and what to see, while being super-respectful of the privacy of their guests, and responsive to any needs. ( Ditto for their lovely housekeeper, Marie, who leaves everything gleaming. ) We had a small problem with the coffee maker, which Laura remedied within 10 minutes of our call to Mark.
This is a quiet, tranquil place to stay. Yes, there are sounds of "life"upstairs; and, as one guest remarked -it is rather reassuring.
Although we have only been able to spend long weekends at this apartment, I can easily imagine being most comfortable staying here for an extended period of time...if only there were the time! We cannot wait to return! Thank you!
