A delightful apartment roomy and comfortable enough for the 4 adults and 2 kids.
Denise is a very pleasant host and keeps the apartment in excellent condition. It is clean and well maintained. The three levels offer privacy and quiet when two families get together to travel.
We drove 250 miles to get there and I was able to keep in touch with Denise through Homeaway email to let her know what time I'd be there with traffic building as I got closer.
I will stay here again on my next trip to Brooklyn. I highly recommend this large apartment.
I was hesitant about renting in Brooklyn just because I have only stayed in hotels while in NY, however Denise made it easy for us. She welcomed us when we arrived well after midnight, gave us a tour and also left us a bottle of wine. She was so detailed with providing information on WiFi, transportation, restaurants and parking. I called her during our stay to ask her questions and she responded right away. The house was impeccable. Very clean, a lot of room and very comfortable. Plenty of towels, blankets etc provided. My family and I had such a great experience. We felt safe not only in the house but the neighborhood. I highly recommend and will def return.
The owner Denise was nice and tried hard to accommodate me and my family however we stayed in house less than 24 hrs of our 3 night stay. The neighborhood is awful and the neighbors where outside smoking Marijuana and I couldn't have my kids around that type of environment. Not to mention the cleanliness of the place was not up to standards. Their was hair allover the bed in the back bedroom and in the bathrooms. The bathrooms where nasty. It appeared that whoever cleaned the place just took the mop and ran it over the place to make it smell good. I gave the owner back her keys and my family and I left she apologize and I told her it was OK and let her keep the $721 for the few nights just because I didn't have the energy to fight about it. My trip was already ruined and I had to go find a hotel. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Also the apartment is in a basement it's not the steps she showing in the picture that belongs to her other tenants . The apartment for rent is below. Everything in the pictures was in the apartment but overall it's a big disappointment.
This place is absolutely wonderful. I truly enjoyed my stay at this location. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and I was very pleased to see so much parking on the street. Denise is so nice and made me feel at home. Everything is so nice and clean.
This is a vey large house for the city, divided into 3 stories. It gave us ample space and with its 2 bathrooms, dining room and well-equipped kitchen, we were able to take full advantage of the property and chose to eat in in the evenings. In the summer, we could have had access to the back yard. The host was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. We would stay again any time.
We couldn't have had better accommodations! Everything we needed, excellent location, top notch unit, gracious host... Can't go wrong with staying here.
Excellent location, within walking distance to many key attractions; whistle clean, well laid out, spacious, ideal for a family gathering involving others as visitors for a morning afternoon or evening. Owner was attentive and available (thank you Denise). We'd come back, and give it an unqualified exceptional rating except for one deficiency: the heating system is on a set central control which cannot be adjusted for this space alone. It was too hot for us. And in this day and age of climate disruption, opening windows to get some cool air, which just causes the system to burn more fossil fuel, is not a sustainable idea. Kudos for windows that open, but not for this reason. If this negative feature were fixed we would give this property a unqualified, enthusiastic endorsement. As it is we appreciated the whole experience and enjoyed ourselves.
We couldn't have had better accommodations! Everything was so clean, well kept and up to date. Denise goes beyond what is expected to make your stay comfortable. Thank you so much Denise!
Denise was a wonderful host! When she found out we had rented a car she saved a space in front of the house as we were arriving later in the evening. The house was very clean. The bottle of wine was a nice treat. Thank you Denise
We've stayed at many HomeAway's and the like and it's been rare we've been dissatisfied. This location was, though, exceptional and all down to the landlady, Denise.
Two couples visiting NYC, really Manhattan, and firstly we wanted an early check-in and late departure and Denise was able to accommodate both and was personally there and right on time.
Check-in was superb and she gave us a warm and confident feeling from the get-go. The little touches we much appreciated - e.g. umbrellas, charge adapters, USB chargers, a bottle of wine and corkscrew.
There are 3 levels. The lowest is the pool room which we didn't use. The middle and the basement entrance are two nicely equipped queen bedrooms and (the) one bathroom/shower. Handy for local restaurants including the excellent Corner Grind for breakfast and coffee. Ten or so minute walk to the C and A trains and a short ride to Manhattan or Brooklyn Bridge.
Loved denise.
Von uns bekommt diese Wohnung auch 5 Sterne! Sie ist genau wie beschrieben, groĂ, gepflegt und bestens ausgestattet mit allem, was man braucht. Die Betten sind bequem und das zweite (groĂe) WC ist eine zusĂ€tzliche Annehmlichkeit, wenn man zu viert oder mit noch mehr Personen hier ist. Wir haben es jeden Abend genossen, nach unseren AusflĂŒgen wieder in unser erholsames âZuhauseâ zurĂŒckzukehren und in der gemĂŒtlichen WohnkĂŒche zu sitzen.
Denise ist eine sehr freundliche, zugewandte Person und eine groĂartige Gastgeberin. Auch wir wurden mit einer Flasche Wein u.a. GetrĂ€nken empfangen. Wir haben sie mit Freude auch ein wenig persönlich kennengelernt.
Die gute Verkehrsanbindung können wir nur bestĂ€tigen. Mit der fuĂlĂ€ufig entfernten Sub-way ist man schnell in Manhattan, und es gibt Busse in alle Richtungen Brooklyns. Da wir 14 Tage hier waren, haben wir abends öfter gekocht. Zum Einkaufen können wir den Super-markt Bedford Avenue/Ecke Monroe Street empfehlen. Kulinarisch hat uns das Hill Cafe in der Putnam Ave 17 besonders gut gefallen â leckeres Essen und ein supernetter Service. In der nĂ€heren Umgebung war das Brooklyn-Museum ein Highlight und der dahinter liegende Prospect-Park eine grĂŒne und ruhige Oase. Sonntags findet dort in den Sommermonaten der Smorgasburg-Foodmarket statt.
Lovely roomy vacation rental surrounded by everything one needs
I truly loved Denise's brownstone vacation rental. It was VERY clean, VERY roomy & has a VERY homey feel to it! I love the hardwood floors throughout the home!!! And even though we did not use the kitchen due to our short stay....I noted that the kitchen was stocked with nice dishware, pots & pans, & nice heavy silverware. She has thought of everything that one might need in the kitchen. She had a bottle of wine awaiting us, as well as some drinks in the refrigerator to satisfy our thirst. Her vacation rental most definitely has that woman's touch! I would most definitely stay in her brownstone again when in NY!! Thanks Denise for putting much thought, time, & energy in preparing your lovely home for your vacation renters! It made our stay in NY even more satisfying!
