It was a real pleasure to meet Kirsten and Bill and to stay at their beautiful Brooklyn brownstone apartment.

The apartment:

The apartment was extremely clean with wonderfully bright rooms, modern kitchen and bathroom, including a very powerful shower and spacious bath tub with plenty of hot water, which is always great!
Air conditioning was provided in all rooms and it worked a treat. We stayed in August and boy was it hot! It was always reassuring to know that on our arrival back to the apartment after a long, hot day walking around the city, that the rooms were always lovely and cool.
Lots of linen and towels were provided and the beds were very big and comfortable. Wi-fi was provided as was a large screen television with lots of channels. A capsule coffee machine (filter, not espresso) was also on hand as were the required capsules. Very generous!

Local area:

The apartment is located very close to the subway, about 5 minutes’ walk through a friendly neighbourhood. Lots of local convenient stores were very close by and a very nice park over-looking Manhattan was only a 10 minute walk. A very nice local coffee shop (Sunset Coffee) serving espresso based drinks was located about a 12 minute walk across the other side of Sunset Park. Other services within a few minutes’ walk included a very efficient launderette, pharmacy and McDonald’s.

Conclusion:

A great place to stay with truly lovely hosts. I would definitely choose to stay here again if the chance arises to visit New York in the future. 5 stars!
