Brooklyn Vacation Rental apartment

We stayed a long week-end in this apartment. We flew in from Montreal to JFK, and were so happy to discover that the taxi ride from the airport was short and cheap!

As soon as we walked in the apartment, we loved the vibe of the place! The apartment is clean, very comfortable and tastefully decorated. It has everything and anything you would need (towels, iron, etc.) and adequately sleeps 5 people (2 double beds and a single bed in the small bedroom). Also, the kitchen has everything needed to cook up a storm! We even had everything to make coffee and tea the first morning!

The apartment is quite literally a few minutes away from Ralph Avenue station, which is 20-25 minutes from the centre of Manhattan, it’s a direct ride. But, I would strongly recommend spending some time exploring Brooklyn. It was our first time visiting Bk and we had a blast!!! Make sure to ask Cheryl and the family for suggestions of activities and restaurants, Brooklyn is full of fabulous places to discover! After this experience, I don't think I will ever go back to staying in expensive and pretentious Manhattan hotels!

Most importantly, it was a real pleasure to meet and get to know Cheryl and her family. They were so helpful and welcoming; it felt like we'd know them forever! So many thanks to both Cheryl and Mark and their beautiful kids for making our vacation truly unforgettable.
Bottom Line, this place offers the best of both worlds! A few minutes away from Manhattan while being in the heart of Brooklyn! It feels like home away from home! I would strongly recommend this place to all types of travelers!

Mark and Cheryl were extremely helpful and kind. The apartment was in good clean condition. The neighborhood was safe and had places to shop for groceries. As long as we make trips to New York we will be staying at this apartment, we will never again stay in overpriced Manhattan apartments or hotels. Thanks again Mark and Cheryl it was a pleasure talking to you and meeting you. We hope to see you probably in the summer some time. Nico and Trevon

The flat was ok, but not elegant. There is no private entrance and no dining area. We stayed there with four adults and found no place to have lunch, what means we had to sit on the living room sofa around a small couch table in front of the sofa. If you stay there with two people it might be ok. The bathroom is very small and without a window. We could not open the windows in the flat and it was very noisy on the streets outside.
The area around the house is quite ugly and dirty, but the family is nice and very friendly.
No taxi driver kows the way to this address. We always went by subway. the best thing is that it is only a short way to the subway station. There you find some stores and a supermarket, but no restaurants.
