I just spent six weeks at Noelky's beautiful apartment and already miss my little hideaway. It is located on the loveliest block of Crown Heights, lush with trees and front gardens overflowing with hydrangea. The apartment itself is full of plants and charm. I had just come off a stressful flight from Argentina, in order to get vaccinated, and I felt a wave of calm when I walked into the large, sweet bedroom. And the back garden! I recommend visiting in May, when the peonies are in bloom.
I loved cooking in the very well equipped kitchen. I've stayed in a lot of airbnbs, but I've never found such an array of spices and (quality) staples like in Noelky's place. It was a joy to cook there, especially while looking out at the garden.
Noelky and Dan are very welcoming, kind, and helpful with anything you might need. The street is also very peaceful and quiet. It is a perfect base for exploring New York. My one word of advice would be for people who will be working there and staying inside a lot. Just be aware that you are living in the lower level of a house, so you will hear noise from upstairs.
