Joni and Carsten are very nice hosts. Their place looks better than the pictures and has every essential facility in it. We were a couple and stayed for 7 days in September ‘18. Here are my observations:
Space: It is a very spacious basement apartment with an open kitchen. The decor keeps you happy :-)
Location: A lot of bus stops around to get buses for every part of the city. Simply Google Map your destination and should work fine. The nearest Subway station is 15min away by walk, though. There are a lot of mini-marts and cafes around which make the stay hassle-free. The neighbourhood looked safe all the while even when we used to come late at night.
Facilities: Kitchen is good. Wifi works. Place is neat & clean.
Things that could be better:
1. Although the TV has Netflix connection and other apps like YouTube, it restarts sometimes when you watch a movie or a long video.
2. There are way too many instruction notes all around the home. You feel afraid at times wondering if you have broken any “house-rule”.
Overall, a very beautiful & comfortable place in the heart of Brooklyn. I found it worth the money!
Joni & Carsten were accommodating when we wanted to keep our luggage for longer than our checkout hours. They even helped us with the taxi.
Thank you so much.
