(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)

  • Everything you have read sofar is TRUE We spent a lovely 4 days at the best place in Brooklyn, 186 Nelson st. Bill and Anshu are great, very accomodating,and extremely helpful. The apartment was squeaky clean, peacefully decorated, and quiet. Everything you want to see in Brooklyn or Manhatten is an easy taxi ride away. Its your Home away from Home.

  • We spent a lot of time and effort researching places to stay for our first visit to New Yoark. We finally settled on Brooklyn, Carroll Gardens, the Nelson Street appartment and it proved an excellent choice. Bill and Anshu were excellent hosts, ever present downstairs but never intrusive, always ready to answer questions, to provide advice and information and to help. The apartment was well furnished and equipped,, comfortable and quiet. The immediate neighbourhood has excellent delis ( our favourite was Caputo's with mozzarella to die for ) , restaurants ( we strongly recommend Frankie's ) and quirky shops ( Ruby, who makes her own designer clothes ). We spent the days in Manhattan walking ( don't miss the Highline ) and visiting galleries ( don't miss the Design Museum ), returning "home" in the evenings to Nelson Street. We hope to return one day for a longer stay and would want to stay at Bill and Anshu's apartment. We have no hesitation in recommending it to our friends.

  • This is a great place to stay. I am a litte hesitant to write this review becuse I want to be sure it is available the next time we go to Brooklyn. For us, it was the perfect place to be while visiting our Brooklyn-based kids.

  • Bill and Anshu's apartment was comfortable, spotless and well appointed. It has plenty of natural light and a lovely kitchen and bathroom. During our 17 night stay there was plenty of clean linen and towels. It is in a lovely area of Brooklyn, situated between the two eat-streets of Smith and Court Streets. We highly recommend Zaytoons, Frankies, Enoteca on Court and Monteleone's Bakery & Cafe (for espresso and Italian cakes). It is close to two subway stations, and only a short ride to Manhatten. Subway trains come at least every 5 minutes and we found them to be a safe and quick way to commute, even late at night. There is a TKTS Discount Booth in nearby Jay Street which was a convenient way to buy discount tickets for the theatre without queuing for hours at Times Square. There are plenty of good laundromats, delis, bottle shops, supermarkets and other shops within walking distance of the apartment. Bill and Anshu were very friendly and accommodating with lots of tips for day trips and restaurants. We highly recommend the apartment and hope to return. Thank you Bill and Anshu for making our stay in New York so memorable.

  • This 1BR apt is an absolute gem -- light-filled, spacious, spotlessly clean, and stylish. It's been said before, but that's because it's so true -- it's like a home away from home, which is priceless in NYC. Would absolutely stay again. Can't recommend it highly enough!

  • What a joy to deal with friendly people who love what they do! Bill and Anshu were extremely helpful and make you feel "at home". Eat at Frankie's on Court Street (two blocks from apartment), it holds up to most Manhattan mid priced eateries. A great neighborhood to explore. We hope to return.

  • We would recommend Bill’s apartment for any length of stay. It had a fresh appearance and feel because it was so very clean, bright and sunny. Clean linens and cleaning service was available when needed during our monthly stay. The furnishings were simple and yet everything we needed to be comfortable was provided. The location is excellent, close to great restaurants and stores (groceries, laundry, convenience stores, etc.) but most important it is just a few blocks to the subway. Safety for our well-being was never in question regardless of the time of day that we were coming or going. It was so pleasant to come home to the quiet neighborhood after a busy day of sight seeing in the hustle-bustle of Manhattan. When we visit New York again, which we hope is soon, we will definitely want to stay in this same apartment!

  • Clean and bright apartment in Brooklyn, steps from Subway. Great area, very accomodating hosts. We were releived to know that after spending a day in the hustle and bustle of New York, we would come "home" to sleep in a clean and quiet apartment. Would come again and recommend to friends and family.

  • My son recently moved to Carrol Gardens and I was lucky enought to find Bill and Anshu's apartment, which is 1 1/2 blocks away. Great location, reasonable price and Bill and Anshu are very hospitable. I'll be staying here for years to come.
