Francis is a very nice, gracious and responsive host. We stayed a week in the apartment and the place met our needs very well. The apartment is a very short walk to the J subway line which was convenient to get to the Lower East Side of Manhattan and other areas of Brooklyn. The apartment was also close enough to the C and A subway line as well (8-10 min walk). The neighborhood is more residential in nature so it was nice to come back to after the hustle and bustle of the city. The apartment was bright, spacious and airy. The bedrooms in the back of the apartment were quiet and the beds were comfy. The living room was big and airy with a comfortable sofa. The bathroom was on the smaller end, but met our needs. The kitchen had the essentials for making a cup of coffee in the morning and warming up leftover. We also rented a car for part of our stay and parking was easy. We were able to find parking in front of the apartment on most days. We very much enjoyed our stay at Francis’ apartment.
