Reviews of Property: Perfect Escape, Modern Luxury in Brooklyn

The apartment is decorated and furnished with attention to detail, and by this i mean things are not just slapped together as in many holiday rentals, and the owner obviously cares that you have a nice experience. both the double beds in the front bedroom were amazingly comfortable and the bedclothes and soft furnishings (extra pillows for reading etc) were of high quality. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and basic foods that others had left, to which we added some very expensive maple syrup! the bathroom was bright and very clean and new, although apparently we couldn't use the spa as it would leak into the downstairs apartment.

The only drawbacks to this apartment would be walking home from the subway late at night which I felt safe doing at the time as we were three people, but I have to say if it was just me or even two I would probably be a little scared as the walk is a number of blocks past dodgy looking bodegas and quiet streets. The owners were also a little terse and when we called them to fix the internet they made us feel like we were asking a lot of them. Also they left us a note asking us to turn out lights when we were not there, which quite frankly I thought was a little invasive that they were monitoring our movements enough to know that we were not actually inside just reading or doing some other quiet activity, not that I don't agree that leaving lights on unnecessarily is a waste of electricity, but I think if we forget and leave them on then that's really our prerogative as paying guests.

Overall I would recommend this place as it is a really good deal and very lovely - as long as you don't mind your landlords in the basement getting up in your business a little.

I recommend this appartment, and I want to add that staying in Brooklyn has given us another perspective on NY, away from the tourist crowd.
Les propriétaires sont francophones et sympathiques, et Jean-Marc est de Montréal. Avis aux Québécois de passage, c'est un environnement agréable, un quartier vivant, animé, près de tous les services, épicerie, métro, etc... Nous étions deux adultes et 2 enfants, et nous ne regrettons pas notre choix !

This apartment was a nice surprise. the photos were accurate and everything well laid out. The walk to the subway was easy and the owners were always a helpful call away.

The description of the Brooklyn apt is pretty accurate. My family stayed May 7-13th. A beautiful time of year. The street is quite for the most part. The location is good. Not sure about the bus line because we had a rental car. Didn't like the fact the we had to move car to either side of street depending on the day of the way,but that's just NY. The apt. was clean. Furniture was a little out dated, but it held up. I wouldn't recommend the apt for people who have knee problems or problems with stairs. It is on the second floor of very small steep stairs. The second BR is very, very small, only room enough to sleep. I did enjoy may stay and I would recommend it to friends. My daughter-in-law really loved it. She is from New York born and raised in Brookyln. She seemed to think it was great. Considering the price of a NY hotel, this was a bargain.

Wonderful, relaxing apartment, close to the subway, landlords are very helpful and pleasant. Quiet, clean and comfortable.

- Appt very nice, well-maintained, clean and corresponding to the description. The appt is located in a quiet block with access to the Metro that will take you to lower manhattan in 15 minutes and 25 minutes to Midtown. This area has a few restaurants and a lot of groceries. Owners welcoming and helpful.

Appt well-maintained, corresponding to the description ( the 2nd bedroom is very small ), we enjoyed the living room. The owner is welcoming and helpful. I would not recommend this property for disabled people because of the stairs. Having a car is also helpful, Brooklyn is such a large city

un appart vraiment chouette pour visiter new york, trés confortable, propre, et proche de toutes les commodités, meublé avec goût et beacoups de soins. le quartier est calme, et les proprios sont des gens trés sympatiques et serviables. la prochaine fois on changera pas d'adresse, on a trouvé notre bonheur à new york.
