(We have many happy former guests - please have a look at our guest comments further down in the listing below.)
This one-bedroom apartment occupies the entire upper floor of a Brooklyn brick townhouse built at the turn of the century. It has been completely renovated to combine the simple elegance of a historic house with a clean modern interior. The furniture has been carefully chosen for comfort and style, and you may recognize several pieces as modern American antiques from the 1950’s.
The kitchen has all new cooking utensils and appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave. If you’d rather not do the cooking, choose from among the many neighborhood restaurants for a memorable meal.
The rooms are full of light, with views of St. Mary's Star of the Sea Church. The apartment is also a stone’s throw away from Dennett Place, a quaint block of small houses on one of the narrower streets in the city.
In Carroll Gardens, you will discover the charms of a Brooklyn neighborhood where well established Italian American stores co-exist with newer specialty boutiques, coffeehouses, cafés, and excellent top-rated restaurants.
By subway, the apartment is 10 minutes from Manhattan, 15 minutes from Soho, and 20 minutes from Coney Island.
The apartment is located on Nelson St between Smith St and Court St; two blocks from the ‘F’ train subway line. It is ideal rental for week long vacations, weekend getaways, or temporary lodging; and can comfortably accommodate two people.
The apartment is a completely separate unit, with its own private entry from the common entry hall. We provide a broadband wireless internet connection for free, so bring along your laptop.
(we do not allow smoking or pets in the apartment)

Excellent!

The apartment is exactly as advertised. It is only a short walk to the subway, and it was very easy to get to all the sights in Manhattan. The neighbourhood is nice and there are lots of restaurants and shops close by. It was nice to come "home" to the apartment after a long day of sightseeing. Much more comfortable than a hotel room, especially for a longer stay. We were there for 2 weeks, and really appreciated having a full kitchen - we could relax over breakfast and coffee in the morning before heading out, and we made dinner a few times instead of going to a restaurant. The unit was very clean, and the owners are perfect hosts. They answered any questions we had, and otherwise left us alone to enjoy our vacation. If you are thinking of renting the unit, be aware that that there are a lot of stairs - it is on the third floor. The bed is also low to the ground - if you have mobility issues this may not be the ideal apartment for you. Otherwise, I recommend this place highly. We enjoyed it very much.

It's hard to even write how wonderful this place is, because doing so will most likely increase the demand! My wife and I stayed here over Halloween weekend of 2010. The owner, Bill, and his family were awesome and live downstairs. We were given options of happenings in Manhattan & Brooklyn for Halloween night, and two complementary city passes for our stay (great deal if you're checking out some of NYC's culture). The place itself is immaculate; a super-clean modern space without feeling cold. The location is perfect as well. Carroll Gardens, often referred to as "the best nabe in Brooklyn," is perfect if you're looking for that quitessential Brooklyn experience. You'll definately fee like a local here. Of the numerous places I've stayed in NYC, this is by far the best and the first one I'll look for each time I visit. Bill: Thanks again for a wonderful stay & sorry for the delay.

My Wife and I stayed here for our anniversary/birthday vacation. We wanted to home base in Brooklyn and subway all the other places we wanted to go. This worked perfect. Bill and Anshu are great hosts. Taking the time to give us the lowdown on the neighborhood, where to get the metro, and the good restaurants. When we come back to Brooklyn, we will stay here!

The apartment was light, airy, clean, comfortably furnished and equipped beyond expectation. It is in a quiet side street, but the main road is full of restaurants, cafes and little shops that we in England have long lost. It is between two subway stations and there is a little park nearby. The owners were more than helpful; a list of nearby amenities were sent to us even before arrival. We would most certainly recommend it to friends and relatives. Our only problem was the stairs, but then we are in our seventies!

We travelled on the QM2 from Southampton in July to visit our son who lives in Red Hook. The apartment was perfect for our stay of 5 nights. Bill was so friendly and helpful, especially when I needed unexpected medical treatment. We found the description of the apartment to be 100%. Immaculately clean,bright and airy. Well maintained, wireless broadband worked a treat. We could have cooked anything in the well equiped kitchen but were a bit lazy and decided to eat out. Plenty of lovely eating places just a short walk away. The airconditioning was so necessary as the temperature was in the high 90's. Bill encouraged us to use the aircon - it must have cost him! We were sad not to meet Anshu who was away with the children. Felt safe walking in the area - although did not use the subway late at night. Will certainly return if my son stays in Brooklyn. Thank you again Bill and sorry for the delay in writing this but had problems with the website.

An excellent appartment (clean, tidy, well equipped) and a nice neighbourhood. Book the appartment without a second thought. You'll love it. Nelson st. is very quiet, you don't think you are in a big city at all. The appartment is perhaps 2 mins walk from some decent restaurants and delis on Court St. Court st and Smith St (past President) house literally hundreds of trendy bars, restaurants, and cafes. There are even some less trendy ones that don't mind 30-somethings and even 40-somethings coming in too! Honestly, we loved the place. We could have stayed for a year, Bill and his wife were always available and approachable and we had no problems at all.

Bill and Anshu are wonderful hosts, and they keep the rental immaculate! The modern interior is very relaxing and the neighborhood is very quiet. Plus there's Buttermilk Channel, Frankie's, and Prime Meats right outside your door. And to think, we were going to stay in Park Slope.

My husband and I stayed in Bill and Anshu's apartment for two weeks so that we could be close to our new grandaughter. The apt. was great - clean, comfortable, and convenient both to our daughter's place and to Manhattan. Will definitely be back!
