Sam’s place was 10/10 and exactly as advertised. It was extremely clean, peaceful, quiet, easily accessible and conveniently located to lots of public transportation within a few minutes. The neighborhood was safe and walkable. Sam was very personable and made me feel right at home. I will always book at Sam’s place whenever I visit New York.

Private Apartment in Classic Brooklyn Brownstone

RachelRating, 5 stars4 days ago

We absolutely loved our time at Meggie’s place. It was in a brownstone in a quite leafy street in Brooklyn. The place was within easy walking distance to Carroll Park station and Smith-9 St. We regularly jumped on the F-train to arrive in Manhattan within 15 mins, and the G-train took us up to Williamsburg. We loved the fact that there were two Citi Bike stations literally 3 minutes walk from the house and also, a private bike rental shop with a lovely owner that rented us bikes for the whole day. The accommodation was lovely with lots of character. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed to cook meals at home, including a brand new stove. The bed was very comfortable. Meggie was very friendly and responsive to any needs we had. For example, on our last night, I had to weigh our luggage and needed scales. Within minutes of asking, Meggie lent us her scales. Note: there’s a bodega on the corner at the end of the street, and inside that bodega resides a friendly cat.

A bright living area features a light-colored couch and an antique trunk. A wall-mounted television is present, with plants positioned around the space. A large mirror and an aqua-colored frame adorn a side table, complementing the warm tones of the parquet flooring.
