Photos and Description of the Brooklyn vacation apartment rental
studio, 1 full bathroom, sleeps 2

This tastefully renovated 400 sq. ft. apt has a private entrance & windows that face the street. It's furnished with a queen-sized bed, bureau, nightstands, a dining/writing table and a full kitchenette. The space is decorated with country antiques, giving it a warm feel with a modern sensibility. Period touches include: white subway & hexagonal tiles in the bathroom, wainscoting on the walls, and the original wood floors. A large dressing area with generous closet space divides the main room from a spacious bathroom, which includes all new fixtures & a huge walk-in shower.

As a bonus to our guests, we have recently purchased a digital video movie player for the studio that gives you instant access to hundreds of films & a large selection of popular television series/shows. A lovely way to unwind after a long day of sightseeing!

About The Owner

We are both designers and love creating warm, inviting spaces for our guests. We reside in the building in which the rental studio is located, so it's always a pleasure to meet our guests and to give them tips on interesting places to visit.

Straddling the neighborhoods of Bushwick, Brooklyn and Ridgewood, Queens, the studio is 5 blocks away from the Dekalb Street 'L' train station in Brooklyn—one of the best subway lines in the city. Union Square, the heart of downtown Manhattan, is only 15 minutes away via a direct subway ride; Williamsburg, Brooklyn's stylish boutiques, bars and restaurants are only a 7 minute train ride away.

Ours is a quieter, more residential neighborhood. It is safe and ethnically diverse, with plenty of it's own charms—like local Italian bakeries, Halal butcher shops, Equadorian bodegas, Polish food markets and the best tasting Mexican tamales we've ever come across.

In recent years, the conversion of a number of buildings and factories in the area to artists live/work lofts has brought an influx of businesses—including the first stylish café, gallery, and restaurant/late-night lounge, all of which are walking distance from the studio.

So nice!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 13, 2009 Stayed: April 2009
The studio is nice and pleasant, well equipped and has a nice personal touch to it (which so many 'commercial' apartments lack). The bed is excellent (very important) and we would like to have the bathroom in our own house. The studio reflects the owners who redesigned it: charming, welcome and with eye for detail. The residential area in which it is located makes you realise there is more to New York than Manhattan.

Dear Kermit and Azadeh, thank you for your warm welcome. It was a pleasure to stay in the studio and it felt like 'our house' in New York.

We actually ended up staying in 3 of the owner's properties and they were all great. The owner was very kind to us and allowed us to extend our stay. The location is good and there are plenty of great restuarants within walking distance. We would definitely recommend this place to travelers. We had no complaints.

Ideal Apartment

5 of 5
Submitted: December 18, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The apartment had everything needed including a tea-pot for us Brits!!! The apartment was spotlessly clean, and Kermit couldn't have been more help in setting us right about the area. There are some very good restaurants around - we particularly liked Northeast Kingdom - and the gourmet grocery store next door is very good if you're eating in. Travel to Manhattan on the L Line is easy and truly is only 15 minutes to Union Square. Also recommended is Kermit's suggestion of taking the L Line to the last station before the river (can't remember the name) and then taking the ferry to Brooklyn Bridge and walking over the bridge into Manhattan. We also recommend walking the Hi-line on the west side. We would certainly stay here again.

a delightful home away from home

5 of 5
Submitted: October 22, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
The property is a beautifully designed and maintained space with everything I needed at my fingertips - an incredibly comfortable bed, free and full access to all TV channels, computer and wifi, equipped kitchenette and the best shower in the gleaming clean bathroom that I'm still remembering fondly. I felt cosy and secure while staying there on my own. The space has been designed to comfort as well as delight - everything was reassuringly solid, thoughtfully inviting and beautifully laid out.
It took only a day to get familiar with the neighbourhood, which was quiet and cosy as well (a local supermarket is a few blocks away, and there are many restaurants within walking distance too). Though I'd been intimidated by the thought of the New York subway system, that too became easy to navigate, and the closest subway stop from the property took me quickly wherever I wanted (within Brooklyn as well as in Manhattan).
The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, and they really ensured my stay was wonderful. I'm looking forward to staying there again.

this studio has to be the perfect brooklyn experience.the street is a historic location still paved in brick with well kept early 1900 rowhouses.kermit and azi ,very amenable hosts,have set up an amazing studio where everything is so carefully thought out that you think you are living beyond the confines of what is usually studio space.transportation to the big apple is within easy walking distance and you are in the midst of manhattan in 15 minutes,at a fraction of the cost downtown.great eating reccomendations and a grocery store down the street only enhances the experience.new york affordability in clean comfortable premises.what more can you ask.?
