Located in the heart of Brooklyn
We needed a place for two+ weeks close to my son in Crown Heights, and this location was excellent. The historical brownstone architecture of this home and the others up and down Hancock Street made for a lovely walk to the subway. It was a quick walk to the A and C lines, which is perfect for getting around both Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Bed-Stuy is a city neighborhood in the throes of gentrification. We found the neighborhood restaurants to be some of our favorites during our stay, with regular stops at Peaches Hot House just up the street being a highlight of our trip.
There were a couple of issues with the apartment during our stay which were managed quickly and thoroughly. Communication with the owner was open and friendly even when discussing problems. During our stay the bed frame broke and they brought in a whole new box spring and frame same day!
The place does show some wear and tear, and would benefit from some attention to detail. For the price and location, it’s a good deal. We would definitely stay again and appreciate the kindness of owners — this a true brownstone-in-Brooklyn apartment experience. An affordable and rare find inNew York.
