Great & cool place to stay in Brooklyn, NYC
Review Submitted: November 18, 2009

A complete enchanting, pleasant and very cute apartment. Only a minute walk to subway (½ block) to Bergen St station in Brooklyn which goes directly downtown in 10 minutes. Four young Europeans travelled late at night on subway and we felt very safe. If it’s very late and you want to take a taxi back from Soho, it’s close & costs about 7 euros to go back home. If you want to stay in the neighborhood, you have many shops, restaurants, cafes & bars are very close to the apartment. At times we heard a little street noise at night but that’s anticipated as it should in any big city you’re in, especially NYC. I guess we’re not used to it because back home we live in a very small & quiet town in the countryside, so it was a big change for us.
The apartment is completely equipped for all your needs, though we did not even cook a meal since we left early in the morning and returned late at night. All the furniture is new and it seems to be renovated with very tasteful fixtures & paintings. The apartment is very clean and spacious. There’s a big flat panel TV, computer, telephone, 2 bedrooms, linens and towels are provided and the owner Joe even gives you a NYC mobile telephone for you to have during your stay. This was very convenient for us because we were able to be reached by anyone while we were out sightseeing & discovering the city. NYC is full of so many things. Just visiting Brooklyn is a charm itself! We certainly felt as though we were definitely back home because we all felt very comfortable there.
This apartment is a great price compared to Manhattan which is only a few minutes away. You feel like a native of NYC living here, definitely much better staying here than at a hotel. Joe answers Emails quickly and it was a delight that provided amazing service to his visitors. We loved NYC and highly recommend this apartment to everyone!!
