Renee was very understanding as we arrived 2 hours later than planned, but we let her know via text/calls and she pleasantly greeted us even at 10pm and raining. Gave us a brief tour of apartment so we could quickly settle in. Ample, clean and comfortable space for our family of 4 with our teenage boys using the small bedroom and the futon in living room. Strong AC units and ceiling fans kept place cool. Very functional kitchen space, we bought breakfast foods for the week at a local grocery, and all amenities promised were included. 10 minute walk to subway (A train express to Manhattan), and neighborhood usually active with people walking around or sitting on their front steps/porches. Renee's guidebook was very helpful during our stay for how to get around and where to go. She appeared to be doing some woodworking/restoring during our visit, as the main stairs up to 3rd floor were stripped (but covered) and the door jamb area to the apartment. If you want to stay in a Brooklyn brownstone with easy access to NYC, check out Renee's place.
