Brilliant Brooklyn Apartment
Submitted: October 26, 2009

We rented out this fabulous Brooklyn apartment for our family who were coming to New York for two weeks from London. The owner was very accommodating and let us come to check it out twice prior to their stay, and for four adults and two children we got an excellent price – especially compared to hotels in Brooklyn. We were able to “check-in” early and the owner also gave us two sets of keys which was very convenient.
The apartment was spacious, clean and well-kitted out with bed linen and kitchenware. The owner has done a great job of providing adequate seating in the living room, and a really comfortable place to stay. The duplex layout provides privacy, and access to the garden is a huge bonus for any New York apartment. The neighbourhood is quiet and friendly, and within 30 seconds you’re on 5th Avenue, which has all manner of restaurants, bars and boutiques to keep you occupied; and the subway is just two blocks away on 4th Avenue. There’s a lot to see and do in Brooklyn and this apartment is central to all of that.
The only drawback to the apartment was that with two children under three years old the open stairs were a little precarious, but for families with older children this would be a great place to stay. The owner has provided a computer with free wi-fi which is incredibly useful and convenient for visitors, books, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. There’s an enviable amount of closet space and the apartment feels both safe and homely, but modern enough to feel like you’re staying in a hotel.
We would definitely rent this apartment again.
