I have rented homes in different cities and several times in NYC. This one is the BEST ever and excellent in every way. The apartment was spacious, clean, well-appointed and had every convenience I needed. In the kitchen, I was able to make breakfast and small meals easily because they had Starbucks coffee, tea, sugar and sweeteners, cooking oil, spices, aluminum foil and pans for roasting and baking, etc. The bathroom had a skylight that made it bright even during gray days and had thick, Calvin Klein towels (even good hotels don't have these), soap, shampoo, and a hair dryer. The master bedroom was large with high ceilings, big windows, multiple closets with hangers, a well-functioning airconditioner, and a comfortable bed with smooth Calvin Klein cotton sheets and a warm comforter that kept one comfortable even during cold evenings. There were extra sheets, towels, and hangers. The washer and dryer inside a closet was so quiet I ran it and hardly heard a sound. Of course they had detergent available which I used for doing my laundry since I was there for a whole month. The second bedroom was small, but it had a comfortable bed, a big window, and a view to the street. Both bedrooms look out to the quiet and leafy street - I was surprised you could barely hear any sounds from outside.
Marie-Line was supportive, accessible and kind without being intrusive. I had complete privacy but if I had any questions, she responded within an hour or even faster. The check-in was so easy; when I informed her that I was arriving earlier than the check-in time, she made sure the apartment was ready for me when I arrived from the airport.
This residential area of Park Slope is so pleasant and charming, but just at the end of the block on 7th Avenue, everything is available: dry cleaner, several coffee shops, bagel and pastry shops, numerous restaurants, Cousin John Bakery with the best cookies, Paper Source store, Kiwi and other clothing shops, terrific bookstore, Key Food and other small groceries to purchase produce and food, florists, hair and nail salons, toy stores to buy presents for children, and more. On the other end, two blocks away on 5th Avenue are a panoply of shops and restaurants. For a whole month, I found a variety of cuisines and enjoyed many good meals. I walked everywhere - to the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Prospect Park, Prospect Park Zoo, and took Uber to Manhattan. I will definitely go back here!
