We had a great time at Neil's place. The place was clean, spacious and comfortable for our family of three.
*The things I like:
Location: We spend most of our time in Brooklyn around the Barkley Center and that was only 4 stops away from Neil's place.
-There were many groceries stores and Laundromats around the area, and they became handy when getting water or washing our clothing.
Apartment: The unit was simply/minimalist but stylist decorated and that is plus because we traveled with our little one who likes to touch everything, so having few decor was a good thing for us. Also, my son's room was close to ours and we really liked that.
Supplies/amenities: It was a relieve to be able to cook small things, to cook breakfast and small stuff like that and having the pots and utensils to be able to do it. We bought a few things like egg and bread but the main little things (sugar, spray oil, cinnamon powder) were in the apartment.
*Now the things I didn't like:
The apartment doesn't have a bell.
The host was always a text message away, but I never saw them and to be honest, I didn’t mind until the time where I was stuck outside the house while my husband was inside the apartment and I couldn’t ring the bell because there was none. I really wish I saw the owner/host or anybody to open the door for me. To make matter worse my phone was out of battery as well and I couldn’t call my husband either. I had to go to the local grocery store and asked them to please charge my phone, then I was able to communicate with my husband. I think the fact that it doesn't have a bell, should had been clearly stated in the welcoming note or in the house rules or somewhere, that way the guest knows how to properly work around that.
-Late check-out is not an option.
I really wished late check-out would have been a possibility, our flight was at 6pm and having a place to spend for a few hours even if we had to pay for it, would have been really nice.
Other than that, Neil's was a comfortable and nice place to stay, we do recommend it if you are traveling to New York.
