Maba was very responsive and had the place prepped quickly when I booked at the last minute. That was much appreciated!
The things I liked: the location is in a neighborhood and it was quiet at night. The bedrooms are at the back of the apartment so its quiet and dark which makes for excellent sleep.
The neighborhood is great! From the apartment, you're a 3 minute walk to Lakou Café. At the end of the block are two small bodegas.
You're also very close to the Utica/Crown Heights stop for easy access to Manhattan.
Things I wasn't thrilled with: there was a mildewy smell on the provided linens. There was the filmy feeling of fabric softner on them as well. Its a personal pet peeve of mine bc it never feels like the linens aren't clean. The walls and furniture could use some attention as there were lots of scuff marks on the walls and stains on the sofa. The bathroom could use some additional attention too; the drain cover wasn't attached.
An overall fine enough stay!
