BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED 2 BR BROWNSTONE APT. IN CARROLL GARDENS

The entire renting experience was superb. Communication with the owners was extremely prompt and pleasant at all times. The whole family gave us such a warm welcome it made us totally forget our jet lag. They were so patient, kind and helpful with all our questions. The details in the description are exactly as described as are the photos.

For two adults there was ample space, a very comfortable king-sized bed and simply everything that we needed to feel right at home. We loved the Asian-inspired details - they add to the relaxing atmosphere. The wooden floors with the underfloor heating create a cozy feel as late March can be a little chilly outdoors. The closet space, the view into the garden, especially the birds, free wifi, the fluffy towels provided are all great assets. The washer dryer came in handy,too.

The kitchen is equipped with everything for cooking - but the restaurants in the neighborhood are just too good to cook anything else but breakfast. Fresh pasta is in ample supply in the CoBoCa (Cobble Hill - Boerum Hill - Carroll Gardens) area and is fantastic, so we cooked one meal in 10 days.

This was our first trip to New York and we are so happy we found this place after literally perusing hundreds of vacation rentals. We loved staying in a very safe, walkable, family-friendly neighborhood and it felt like coming home after the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, a day at a crowded museum or a cool day in Central Park. Court St. and Smith St. have wonderful restaurants and shopping - no chain stores - most are small shops - lots with Brooklyn-made products, e.g. Stinky Bklyn (cheese), BookCourt (independent store with great author readings), locally roasted coffees, Brooklyn-made gifts.
Several nice wine stores, Italian bakeries nearby. Excellent food shopping at Union Market (similar to WholeFoods only better despite being smaller), a Trader Joe's is not too far away either.

Recommended restaurants, most no further than 0.5 miles away: Seersucker, Smith Canteen (lovely croissants), Nightingale 9 - all owned by the same chef; Yoya (Thai), Kittery (seafood), Fragole (Italian with the freshest mozzarella ever on the salad).

We liked Brooklyn better than Manhattan! Favorite activities: Brooklyn Bridge Park + walk across bridge, DUMBO neighborhood, Prospect Park, Coney Island (40 mins on G-line - not busy on a weekday).

It's so easy to get everywhere, the F + G lines are so close to home, yet no noise.

We would love to stay here again.

This beautiful sparkling clean apartment is a must stay for anyone coming to the NYC/Brooklyn area. The location is perfect for dining and strolling. Subway station one half block. Very quiet yet accessible neighborhood. This will be our home away from home for as long as we come to Brooklyn...loved everything about our stay.

We had a very nice stay and would recommend highly. The owners were very friendly and helpful,
and the space was clean and comfortable. A great location for us and we would stay again. There are many nice restaurants within walking distance and the subway entrance is nearby for easy access to public transportation. It would be even nicer in warmer weather.
