a perfect Brooklyn base

5 of 5
Submitted: April 22, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
For the week we stayed in the garden apartment it was a perfect base for us. Travelling as two families with children aged 3 and 6 we received a warm welcome from Stephanie. The apartment was cosy, nicely decorated and well equipped with all we needed. Best of all the subway was just around the corner, with plenty lines giving us easy access wherever we were going. We also found the local bars and restaurants to be excellent, a great neighbourhood so stay in with kids, which is exactly what we were looking for. Would highly recommend to others and stay again next time we are in New York. Alan & Kim, Scotland.

Great apartment and location

5 of 5
Submitted: April 4, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We (2 parents and 2 young couples) had a perfect stay i Stephanie and Justin's apartment. We really felt at home and welcome there. Everything was perfect (clean apartment, nice neighborhood, perfect location for the subway and very helpful hosts). Don't hesitate to rent this if you are going to New York. Brooklyn is a great place to stay. One small suggestion for you Stephanie: Change the pullout/trundle bed in bedroom #3 with a narrow Queen size bed. There is room for it - and it would be a bit more comfortable for a couple. We really loved being there. Thank you for a wonderful week.
Best regards J M N S B C

Cosy apartment in trendy Brooklyn

5 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Our family ( including three teenage daughters and grandmother) had a fantastic time time in this beautiful apartment.
Without the owners help we might not have made it across the Atlantic at all.
Due to the Blizzard hitting New York, 3600 flights were cancelled but we received
an email from Stephanie warning us and were able to change to an earlier flight.

The apartment is very comfortable and cosy warm even during a blizzard.
It is super clean and tastefully furnished and we felt at home the minute we arrived. The apartment is very well kitted out, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need.
Stephanie could not be more helpful and obliging and her tips regarding restaurants, shopping and how to get around were very helpful.
Fort Green is a very pretty area and feels very safe, there are plenty of good restaurants and shops very close by.
It was very easy to get from JFK to the apartment by train and it is only a 4 minutes walk from the station to the apartment (if you don't forget the map Stephanie sends you in advance)

The 15 minutes trip into Manhattan, crossing Manhattan Bridge is exciting every day and it is great to escape the hustle and bustle of Manhattan in the evening and experience a residential area with its beautiful brownstone buildings.
5 minutes walk from the apartment is the Barclays centre, home of the Brooklyn Nets and definitely well worth a visit for a basketball game.

We can highly recommend this apartment and will stay here again the next time we will visit New York.

Ubicación inmejorable

Muy cómodo departamento, con todo lo que se necesita, (cocina con horno, microondas, lavarropas y secarropas, cafetera, horno eléctrico, etc.), muy buena calefacción y una ubicación excelente, a dos cuadras de la terminal Atlantic, donde pasan nueve líneas de subte y también a dos cuadras, la estación Lafayette de la línea C. No se tarda más de media hora al Central Park, además a una cuadra hay supermercados, shopping y todo lo que necesiten. Otra ventaja, es conocer algo distinto de Manhattan, ya que Brooklyn tiene su propio encanto.
Stephanie y Justin son muy amables y te ayudan con lo que sea.
Por último, no tuvimos el más mínimo problema de inseguridad, así que pueden salir tranquilos.

My family was in need of a place to stay while visiting me for Thanksgiving and I was very happy to find this one. The apt is comfortable, quiet, and very large. We had 4 people stay with more than enough room. The owner was very professional and returned my calls and email right away leading up to the stay. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Brooklyn.
