We spent a week in june in this charming apartment and would certainly recommend it to others. We especially liked the space itself, with windows on two sides and a charming loft-like feeling about it. There’s gardens at the back and in front of the house a few bars and restaurants. They can be rather noisy in the evening and morning (when delivery trucks arrive), especially if you like to open the windows. But the noise stops at night. The pleasant restaurant oppositie the apartment, Peaches, Shrimp and Crab serves good food. Worth a try.
The subway is close, so it doesn’t take much time to get to Manhattan, although the neighbourhood itself deserves a stroll too. Nice brownstone houses. A sculpture garden at Pratt Institute. Try nearby Fulton Street- Lafayette Avenue for more restaurants and shops.
The apartment was exactly as described and very clean too. Although the bathroom was not very new, everything worked and there were more than enough towels. It was possible to cook at the apartment. Not many pans, but enough knives, spices etc.
Robin answered very quickly. We were pleased too that we could leave our luggage at the apartment for the day, before we took off for JFK.
