Truly a home away from home
Guest: Dugasol
(Hamburg, Germany)
Date of Stay: 10/01/07
Review Submitted: 11/06/07
We have just spent one week in this wonderful apartment. It is decorated so nicely that we felt at home immediately. If NYC didn't have so much to offer, we'd have spend more time inside - so don't be afraid of rainy days on your visit. Herkimer St is not the most beautiful in the area, but what really counts is the fact that we were always pleased to come home to this cozy place after a long and tiring day in the 5 boroughs.

Lovely appartment, all you need

We had a great stay in this appartment early October. The appartment has all you need, including space which is rare in New York. We enjoyed having the kitchen to make our own breakfast and even the one dinner when we were too exhausted to go out. The place is very elegantly decorated and very comfortable. The location is convenient, really a minute walk to the subway and then straight to Manhattan (you can change to the express train at the first stop towards Manhattan which is much faster, esp on weekdays). The neighbourhood is safe and up and coming Bed-Stuy is at walking distance. Cheryl and Mark are extremely helpful and hospitable, lovely people. If I can make one suggestion it would be replace the mattress of the double bed.

Cozy little place to visit NYC

Review Submitted: 10/17/11
What a good trip! We arrived earlier than expected on the day but the flat was already arranged and Cheryl ready to welcome us. This place really made our stay in NY very pleasant. Manhattan is round the corner with the C train just a minute away from our door. The flat is well furnished, very functional and pleasant to live in with plenty of light and sittings. The deco in the stairs is really cool as well ! There were 4 of us but we never felt like stepping on each other and each one of us had their own space. If you are a small group I would say don't hesitate !

Charming, Comfortable and Convenient

Review Submitted: 10/07/11
My wife and I wanted to stay in Brooklyn during our latest business trip to NY and we were glad we found this place. The apartment was tastefully and thoughtfully decorated. It was filled with all of things one would need to feel at home (i.e. fresh linens, kitchen supplies, ample storage, great books, etc.). The location is just steps away from the C train and a late night corner store among other conveniences. The only drawback for us was that we spent a lot of time working in Williamsburg and though we could get there by train it was a bit of an extra haul. However, getting into downtown Manhattan was quick and easy! We will definitely consider staying there again especially since the owners really went out of their way to provide us with an outstanding experience.

Brooklyn Trip

Very convient location, close to the subway - many stores nearby, property is very comfortable. In our group, there were three adults and two teenagers, and this worked fine for us. Many homey touches to the unit, DVDs, maps, plenty of towels, linens, and medicine cabinet supplies which was thoughtful - owners were very nice and accomodating - we'd happily stay there again!

This place was great. My family's vacation couldn't of been better. This was the first time we visited New York with the kids and having a home to go to right off the subway and not a stuffy overpriced hotel made our time in the city even better. The place was very nice, we cooked our own breakfast and the kids enjoyed the games and videos provided in the apartment. I will definitely stay there again.

AMAZING experience

Review Submitted: 03/24/11
My family and I recently stayed at this rental and had a truly wonderful experience. The property is beautifully maintained, the location is conveniently located half a block from the subway, and it was extremely family friendly. They had lots of videos and games for our children ranging in ages 4-6. The hosts were extremely sweet and helpful. Having to take the subway to Brooklyn only added to our goal of having a truly NY experience! Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent hosts...
Guest: Linda

Review Submitted: 03/06/11
My husband, two teenage kids and myself very much enjoyed the warm hospitality offered from Cheryl and Mark. We visited from Monday to Friday this March and from the minute we arrived, we were welcomed. Our hosts made every effort to make things convenient for ourselves going as far as sending their son upstairs to warn us that we needed to move our vehicle in order to avoid a ticket... We felt well taken care of. I agree with some reviews stating that you do have to pay attention to individuals hanging out at the Subway for instance but like anywhere in NY the majority of people are very down to earth. Do bring earphones if you are a light sleeper because the city can seem rather loud if you live in the suburbs like we do. All in all the Brooklyn experience was great and I don't think we could have asked for better hosts in Cheryl and Mark. Thanks again guys. Take care. Linda & Stepane from Montreal

At Home in the City
Guest: Bruce
(Eugene, Oregon USA)
Date of Stay: 01/15/11
Review Submitted: 02/16/11
My wife and I just spent a month in the apartment. Cheryl and Mark are great hosts and the apartment was well-furnished and well equipped. Comfortable beds and pillows are essential with any long stay and we were not disappointed; in fact, I liked the pillows better than those I use at home. The kitchen was very well-stocked with a lot of treats like coffee, beer, cereals, etc. Because the bedrooms overlook the street outside, light sleepers should consider earplugs and/or a white noise machine, but street noise is a way of life in the city, whether you're in an apartment or a fancy hotel. I did find the street to be nicer than implied in earlier reviews; there are a couple of beautiful old churches and a classic 1920's elementary school nearby. You can walk to the Rite Aid pharmacy in about a minute and there's also a laundromat next to the Rite Aid. An Associated supermarket is a five minute walk and if the phenomenal NY cuisine isn't appealing to the kiddies, there's a McDonald's within a couple minute walk. Try the excellent bagels with cream cheese for a buck in the bodega (mini-market) across the street. Neighborhood was safe.

Thanks Cheryl and Mark. You gave us a warm welcome and we felt really "at home" in your appartment. We (parents and 2 grown-up daughters) spent a comfortable week there. We found it complete and clean. One nice thing was the metro around the corner. All the questions we had before we came were answered appropriately and fast! Very nice all together.
