Beautiful Brownstone Suite in the Heart of Brooklyn!
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Brooklyn
I chose to live in Crown Heights, Brooklyn because of it's undeniable charm, and convenient access to Manhattan.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
You'll be carried back to the early 1900s as soon as you set foot inside the house. Great care has been taken to preserve and restore all of the pre-war details including stain glass windows, intricate woodwork, parquet floors, original moldings and early 1900 chandeliers. Homemade banana bread and a cupboard stocked with Brooklyn Roasted Gorilla coffee awaits you. You'll find a sanctuary in here, and you'll be privy to all of my personal favorite activities in the neighborhood. Satellite TV with over 150 channels including 30 movie channels, DVD player and DVD library are all set for when you need to unwind.
The best breakfast spot in the hood, you won't find a more authentic Brooklyn Diner. Amazing assortment of pancakes, eggs benny, and my favorite, Crab Cakes Florentine. We love the “grandma’s kitche
Fabulous Indian food. They let you bring in your own wine (very convenient that there’s a liquor store next door). A favorite dish is the lamb masala. The coconut samosas are sweet and delicious.

Review Submitted: 01/02/12
I totally recommend Krista's brownstone to anyone who wishes to have a true NY/Brooklyn experience. The pictures accurately depict the charm and warmth of the brownstone. Krista made the place extra special by providing the essentials for a quick breakfast. The subway was only 4 blocks away and the express train took us directly into NYC. We recommend a local restaurant--The Spot American Bistro for dinner-great food and service. And Chavela's has the best Sandria I've ever tasted. We would definately stay here again when in NY-if available.
Owner response:Thanks Kim. I really appreciate your feedback and sharing your experience with other guests. Happy 2012! Krista

Our family of 4 have just spent a lovely week in this well appointed apartment in Brooklyn. The apartment is close to the Franklin St subway which we used every day to travel to Manhattan. There are many resturants within a short walk of the apartment and we tried the local Mexican and Indian, both were wonderful. Krista had left us fresh banana bread, milk, juice, coffee & tea, she also provided a detailed list of places in the neighbourhood to visit. We would gladly recommended this apartment and would love to return in the future.
Owner response:Anne, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience. I hope to see you all back here soon! Best wishes.

Charming Apartment for Our Family Gathering

Review Submitted: 03/08/11
My sisters and I arranged a weekend in this lovely Brooklyn brownstone to celebrate our mother’s 75th birthday. Traveling from Florida, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, the apartment was conveniently located to subway lines from JFK and Manhattan, plus there was easy parking directly on the street. Stepping into the entrance of this century old building, we were warmly welcomed by Krista and the sweet smell of her freshly baked and amazing banana bread! Though the day was bitterly cold, the browstone suite was warm, comfortable, sparkling clean and super quiet. The photos accurately depict Krista’s attention to detail and great sense of style. For five women, there was plenty of closet space, luxurious towels and fluffy pillows. Krista provided plenty of helpful information about the neighborhood and we ordered a delicious cake from Lily and Fig, Brooklyn pizza from A Slice of Brooklyn, and tasty Chinese food from J’s Wong on the corner. Thank you, Krista, for making your charming property available for our special family gathering!
Owner response:Thank you for your very kind review Marianne! I'm so happy you enjoy yourselves in the space, and that you had the chance to check out what the neighborhood has to offer. I really appreciate your comments. Hope to see you again very soon!

Brownstone Experience

Review Submitted: 06/23/10
Mother and I saw a program on HGTV about rehab on a Brooklyn Brownstone, Krista's was the perfect example for our vacation. Mother teased about her 'bucket list' during the planning stage. The Brownstone was near the subway line, we were in Manhattan within an hour each day. We used the New York Pass/City Sights Bus package. My sons, 22 & 20, loved the internet service at Krista's. They made a 'bucket list' too. We were able to walk to the Brooklyn Museum & Gardens from Park Place. It made for a wonderful vacation!
Owner response:Thanks for your comments Mel. I'm happy your mother's bucket list was fulfilled! Hope to see you again soon! Krista

Perfect NY Accomodation

Thankyou Krista ! House is beautifully restored and tastefully furnished, with plenty of room. We found ourselves happily sittin' around the kitchen bench and dining table planning each day's activities; makes things so much easier when you have a cosy, comfortable home base from which to explore Brooklyn and NYC. The neighbourhood of Crown Heights is dynamic and fun, with great parks (check out Prospect Park) and a diverse selection of restaurants and eateries (Tom's Restaurant for breakfast is a must). Franklin St subway just a couple of blocks away means you are 20 minutes from the heart of Manhattan. Again, many thanks Krista ! We will be back for sure.
Owner response:Thanks Mel & Jon! I really appreciate your thoughtful review. I'm looking forward to seeing you next time! Krista

Great stay in Brooklyn

The apartment on Park Place is a great place to stay! The street is quiet and friendly and only 4 blocks away from major subway lines taking you into all the boroughs. The neighborhood is walking distance from restaurants and shops in Park Slope and within a few short blocks of beautiful Eastern Parkway, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and Prospect Park. All are a must-see and a great reason to spend a day just hanging out in wonderful Brooklyn. The apartment is large for 4 people and a very comfortable space to lounge, cook, or relax on the stoop visiting with the neighbors. Krista has decorated the apartment with a good eye for beauty and amenities and provides everything you would need including napkins in the dining room, luxurious towels in the bathroom, comfortable furniture, and fresh made banana bread, coffee, teas and juices in the full kitchen. The neighborhood sports Tom's, the best breakfast restaurant in Brooklyn, only 5 blocks away, and has a convenient 24 hour green grocery within 3 blocks. We visited for 5 days from the woods of northern Minnesota and easily fit right in to the pace and lively life of Brooklyn! And staying in Brooklyn is a much more interesting and comfortable way of being in NYC than staying in an expensive, crowded hotel room in Manhattan. So enjoy!!
