Alexandre’s place was great! My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was a great place to relax and rest after spending the day/night exploring NYC and the surrounding area of Brooklyn. The neighbourhood felt very safe and easy to get around. It’s about a 2-3 minute walk to all the wonderful boutiques, coffee shops, convenient stores, bakeries and restaurants. The apartment itself was very clean, well stocked and just as pictured. Quaint courtyard garden with the swing was very charming. And at night, the lit up market lights make it perfect to sit outside and gaze at the stars. Alexandre also kept in touch throughout our stay and was very accommodating in allowing us to check in early after a red eye flight from California. You do have to get used to the creaking floors / ceiling but it’s the charm brownstone living! Definitely recommended and will share with our families and friends as they come to visit our sister who lives a few blocks away.
