Wonderful discovery for me as I know Brooklyn and used to live there, and go there often to visit my daughter and stay at another Airbnb place closer to her in the Heights, which was luckily not available this time round!! Don’t want to say too much as I may never find availability here again if it gets too popular! :)
This listing is an entire apartment or flat. Doesn’t at all feel like a ‘garden flat’ ie below street level. Access to an American size washing machine and a dryer are immediately down a few steps just outside the apartment. The apartment itself feels extremely secure. Styling is modern and clean using one or two eye catching pieces as cabinets and bed side tables. (Some are nice IKEA).
The main bedroom looking out to the front garden/yard, is large with a king sized bed and comfortable mattress. The second bedroom is a well-lit single bedroom at the back. (They are happy to bring in a heater if the temperature drops and the underfloor heating doesn’t do it for that room.) There is an entire area of drawers and hanging space between main bedroom and (only) bathroom.
The living space has good quality leather furniture and a small breakfast table . There is a lovely outdoor space with a table and 4 chairs looking onto the garden accessible from the living area — so precious in the city!!
Fully and generously equipped kitchen, with a large refrigerator and full-size dishwasher, gas hob and oven, m/w, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle —even a blender! No skimping on towels or sheets. Close to shopping, yoga, gym, subway, even Whole Foods! I could have happily stayed for a month. Perfect ‘pad’ for a singleton or couple with room to spare. And the hosts are ‘on call’ it seemed and attend within minutes to any request. Worth the price, and worth moving your search south of Atlantic Ave from the better hyped Brooklyn Heights — to find this gem!
