Spent a wonderful 10 days in the apartment in September 09. Perfectly located for the 'happening' scene of Greenpoint & Williamsburg, and 10 mins walk to the subway on Bedford where its one stop to Manhattan East Village. Maryla made us more than welcome & the apartment is great. Definitely recommended and I can't wait for my next visit!

I am a proud resident of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. My family was visiting from Thailand and needed a place in the neighborhood to stay for the week. Usually they stay in a hotel while visiting but after this trip, they have made of their minds! They fell in love with this apartment. It is spotless and has every imaginable amenity you may need while away from home (my mom was super excited about the washer/dryer). In addition, they loved experiencing the "hip" neighborhood while still being a close train ride away from Manhattan. This apartment is now our new go-to place for all our family members to stay!

Nous sommes venus à deux reprises (2009 et 2011) dans ce luxueux appartement très bien situé à Brooklyn. D'un accès facile depuis JFK (2 changements), cet appartement donne tout le confort aux visiteurs, en permettant de découvrir un autre mode de vie à celui de Manhattan. Cet appartement est situé dans une rue typique de brooklyn à moins de 10 minutes à pied de la station de métro "Greenpoint". Les propriétaires, Maryla et son époux, forment un couple très sympathique, ils nous ont accueillis chaleureusement avec des boissons fraiches à notre arrivée. Avec notre grande famille (2 adultes et 4 enfants), nous avons logé dans cet appartement spacieux qui comportait tout le confort utile pour quelques jours de vacances (lave linge, sèche linge, frigidaire, four, four à micro-ondes, accès internet par WIFI). On se croirait chez soi ! Nous avons apprécié de pouvoir préparer nous même notre repas le soir, après une journée de marche dans new york et fatigués avec le décallage horaire. A quelques minutes de l'appartement se trouvent de nombreuses épiceries, un restaurant type Mc Do, plusieurs petits restaurants. Nous sommes habitués à voyager et sommes allés plusieurs fois aux Etats Unis, cette formule de logement nous a semblé idéale, dans un rapport qualité prix imbattable pour une famille. Bon séjour à Brooklyn !

Super accomodation: clean, nice, relaxing, good beds, well furnished...you feel immediatly at home, better than home! The owner is very kind and helpful. Greenpoint and Williamsburgh are nice and in a very short time you can reach Manhattan by underground or east river ferry.

I live with my family in Greenpoint and booked this apartment for my parents and my aunt, all visiting from Germany for the Marathon (my Dad actually ran the Marathon, -his 2nd in NY!!). They stayed for 10 days and enjoyed it very much. The apartment is bright, clean, very, very comfortable and everything is brandnew- it feels like a home away from home. The apartment is in the historic district of Greenpoint close to everything you need, shops, restaurants and great food stores (Garden Market) and a 10 min walk to the heart of Williamsburg. It is minutes away from the East River Ferry which has a stop at India Street in Greenpoint and another stop in Williamsburg at North 6th Street. Hop on the ferry and it takes you upstream to Long Island City in Queens and to Midtown 34th Street (just two stops). From there you can take a free shuttle bus to Broadway. The bus stops at every regular bus stop and loops back to the Ferry via 6th Avenue, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue. Take the ferry downtown with stops on the Brooklyn side at North 6 Street, Schaefer Landing (South Williamsburg) and at the Brooklyn Bridge Park (Fulton Street Landing) before it continues to Manhattan and Pier 11 next to the Financial District, only a 5 minute walk to Pier 17 and maybe a 10-15minutes walk to Wall Street and the WTC Memorial. The Ferry is the quickest way to get to Midtown and the Financial District with stunning views of Manhattans Skyline. Subway stops for the G train are in close range (maybe a 2-3min walk). The G-train takes you into Queens where you can connect to the M/E train to Manhattan (and Central Park) or into Brooklyn to connect to the A/C train to Manhattan. Or walk 10-15min to Williamsburg and take the L-train to union Square. This apartment felt like a home, no comparison with NY’s overpriced hotels, and is in short distance to Manhattan (again the Ferry ride is stunning). My parents loved all about it (and my kids too). They also liked the feeling to be part of the neighborhood, do their own shopping, cooking sometimes and have a place that feels like theirs for a short time. Thanks Maryla and Jeffrey for your hospitality , the family enjoyed every minute of their stay !

Best family apartment in New York

Review Submitted: 10/17/11
It was our first trip to New York (also USA) and we were so confident to choose this apartment. Maryla and Geoffrey, thank you so much for your hospitality and helpful informations … The apartment is very clean, calm, the beds are extremely comfortable. We felt very safe in this area of Brooklyn. Maryla solved every little problem; extra eiderdowns for the frosted North-Germans (the weather was unusual for us: from extremely hot to cold), call a taxi to the airport, … Geoffrey speaks perfectly German. This was very helpful for us. In this polish area of Brooklyn you can buy everything for fresh cooking. There are a lot of polish and organic shops, butchers, bakeries, … , just a short walk away. We have never had a better family apartment. A flat with lovely details: Schlesische Bunzlauer Keramik (Boleslawiec pottery). And I cannot translate the following meaning in English: Maryla vermietet mit Herz und Seele. Es liegt ihr sehr viel daran, dass es ihren Gästen sehr gut geht und sie sich so wohl wie möglich fühlen. Danke!!

We stayed really well in this apartment, quiet, pleasant, clean, confortable and supplied with better electric household appliances. When we arrived, Maryla and Jeffrey welcomed us with warmth and kindness, very appreciated after an hallucinating journey from JFK with a crazy taxi driver in a car without conditioned air! Apart from this, our stay in NYC has been fantastic. Maryla has been really disposable in all the occasions that we needed of her help. The beds were confortable and they had been a sweet cradle for our dreams. If we'll return in NYC surely our address will be 2 Clifford Place! We recommend it to friends and relatives. Greenpoint is a quiet district with many shops, supermarkets and services. Subway and buses are near home and there is a beautiful park full of life. We thank newyorkers very much for their kindness and Maryla and Jeffrey for all things they have done for us. We'll sure retain a wonderful clear memory of these holidays. So... the Oscar goes to... Maryla and Jeffrey!

WOW! That should sum it up. Our stay in NY was fabulous all because of the comfortable accomodation we had. The apartment was the cleanest place I've EVER been. It was absolutely spotless and sooo... comfortable. We had complete privacy, and it was located within minutes of anywhere you would want to go in NY. When I go to NY again ( it will be soon) I hope it will be available for it is certainly THE BEST ! Maryla and Jeffery were so nice and helpful. My husband and I consider that now we have a Home away from Home. Everything was just as it was advertised and more.

What can I say....I am honored to have stayed at Clifford House! Maryla and Jeffrey were both incredibly when we arrived and give us the "insiders" view of the area which we were so pleased to have. I called to inquire about avail at the last minute since our SUNY cadet was arriving the next day. Maryla was so gracious and sincerely, personifies hospitality! The accomodations were more than expected, and the apartment was impeccably clean, well appointed and just perfect for what we were looking for. Truly a class act and clearly, these folks are professionals in all that they do! Parking was not an issue; we parked almost directly in front of the house every time. As far as the area, it was charming and very easy to get around. My only regret is that we didn't have more time! I would love to have taken a walk to the park, and the hosts recommend the ferry for a quick tour of the waterfront area of New York. There is an abundance of eateries in the area for all tastes and price ranges. You can park your car for the entire weekend and just get around on foot. As I said, the home was fabulous, and sincerely, for the price, and incredible bargain. I would say two couples could stay here comfortably and there was even a washer/dryer which makes the return trip easier as i like to return with clean clothes. All in all - one of the best experiences I've had going to New York. We've used HomeAway twice before, and this was by far, the best experience we've had and would recommend this to anyone. It was a weekend I won't forget and we will definitely be back! Thank you Maryla and Jeffrey for being so welcoming and warm....you were both truly a blessing!
