Apartment Owner's Notes and Description
Located in the Heart of Brooklyn!
Explore the charm and diversity at your doorstep, as well as in neighborhoods like Dumbo, Williamsburg, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, and Fort Green... We're in the middle of it all!
This brownstone built in 1901, is located on Park Place, between Franklin Ave and Bedford Ave in the vibrant and dynamic neighborhood Crown Heights. The 2,3,4, and 5 express subways to Manhattan all stop at Franklin Ave (just a 5 minute walk away). It's a 15 minute ride to Wall St, and 25 minutes to Union Square, and 30 minutes to Grand Central Station. There is street parking available in front of our building.
Nearby Amenities: The local grocery store 'Bob and Betty's' is just a 5 minute walk away on Franklin Ave, and Nam's Corner store (2 blocks away) is open 24 hours. The Grand Army Plaza Farmer's Market is a few blocks away in Park Slope where you can buy specialty cheeses and breads. The laundromat is half a block away, offering very affordable full drop off service. Pharmacy: on Franklin Ave, just 2 blocks away. Wine Store: Franklin Ave, 2 blocks away Coffee shops on Franklin Ave: Pulp & Bean, Breuklyn Coffee House, Fig and Lily.
From the Caribean jerk chicken to the hipster hang outs like Franklin Park, the neighborhood offers diversity at its best. The selection of restaurants around our apartment is very diverse, all very affordable, and most of them deliver if you feel like chilling out for a night: Bombay Masala (Indian), Sweet Basil (Thai), Chavella's (Mexican), Barboncino (Italian), Sushi Tatsu (Japanese).
Local Attractions: The beautiful Brooklyn Botanical Gardens should not be missed, it's just a 10 minute walk from the apartment (free on Tuesdays)! Check out the free concerts at Prospect Park, along with the drum circle on Sunday afternoons at 'Drummer's Grove' (southwest corner). Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) is just one subway stop to Atlantic Ave, where you can see world renowned artists performing music and dance along with the local artist's scene at BAM cafe. Brooklyn Museum is just a 10 minute walk away offering free concerts by local artists the first Saturday of every month. The Tabernacle Church has a very lively service on Sundays. Witness the neighborhood community of worship, and experience a welcoming & friendly dose of cultural immersion.

We were impress by the place and the garden attahed to the apartment, my kids loved it. We were so please with how quiet and dark the room was, my wife and Igot such a good rest after walking (shopping) all day around in Manhattan. The neighborhood is an area so colorful and full of life that we took a couple of days to explor it. Another advantage is that the apartment is so close to Manhattan, one train ride, 20 mins and you are in the heart of the city. In that subway ride we plan our day which is phenomenal in a time restrictred trip, you save time while you are getting to your destination by planning your day. Ah! And I loved the banna cake that was given as a welcome gift! I have been recommending it to all my friends, is such an easy and affordable way to travel. We love it!

Normalmente non lascio commenti negli appartamenti che prendo in affitto....e questa volta ne vale la pena.
Silenzioso, confortevole, bello, curato nei dettagli.....e ospitante.....
Il giardino e' magnifico..e le foto che vedi in questo sito non sono montaggi ....e' normale quotidiana situazione. Praticamente non trovi una bufala quando ci vai!
5 minuti a piedi e prendi la metro per essere in 30 minuti al centro di Manhattan.....sotto casa ( che e' in un posto sicuro, anche per rientrarci la sera tardi, ci sono tornato con i bimbi).....ci sono ristoranti e negozi di vario genere.....
Ci ritorno ogni volta che vado a NYC sia per piacere che per lavoro.
Ah, vicino c'e' anche il mare se in estate ti vuoi fare una sdraiata in spiaggia e divertirti pure lungo la spiaggia luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunga.
A te!

A beautiful place in a nice, clean safe neighbourhood. And so easy to hop on one train and quickly get to Manhattan. I loved the decor and the backyard and found myself wishing I lived there! I highly recommend!

Absolutley loved staying at this gorgeous appartment in up and coming Crown Heights! It has a really relaxing vibe and I felt at home the moment I walked through the door. Loved the Thai oasis style garden and enjoyed relaxing in the wonderful hammock with a book, something that a freak heat wave allowed me to do even though it was October ;-)
Being a cook, the big kitchen was perfect for my culinary needs. The brand new bathroom, rain shower and Jacuzzi were also particulary welcome, especially after a hard day exploring NY!
Amazing breakfasts, fantastic restaurants (a great value new mexican place called Chavella's had just opened when I was there) are only minutes away. The subway is easily walking distance too. The only down point was having to leave.

Ah! The Garden! I was lucky to have some supersunny and warm October days, and the garden felt like vacationing in Bali. I read my book swaying in the hammock next to the little waterfall, we bbq-ed at night.
The apartment indoors is also very lovely. Cozy kitchen with a table to gather round and make plans for the day. All the beds are very comfy, and every room has it's own feel to is. Krista is a great decorator.
The neighbourhood has changed a lot over the years, for the better. There are a couple of great coffeebars, a very nice supermarket just at the subway, we even went to a filmfestival around the corner! It''s safe to walk around, and I can tell cause I walked there by myself at every imaginable hour. Excess to Manhatten is very easy, also at night.

I have stayed in this apartment on multiple occasions and I honestly can't say enough good things about it. It's immaculate and gorgeously decorated. The owner has a knack for interior design and I appreciated how the colors and textures of the apartment and its furnishings meshed together to create a cohesive, aesthetically pleasing whole. It was a perfect oasis for resting after long, busy days in New York City. The apartment is also near the 2,3,4,5 subway lines which makes it especially convenient if you're plannning to spend a lot of time in Manhattan. I would definnitely stay here again and again!

Loved this space!
Lots of charm and tons of space! There is an amazing backyard as well with a hammock. It's just lovely to be there. And the owner is so nice! I wish I could live there!
Very convienient to the subway to get anywhere in NYC.
The neigborhood is trendy and fun and there are amazing shops and bars just a block away. Had the most amazing burger and beer (so Brooklyn!) and met a bunch of locals. They were all so friendly.
Great fancy mexican restaurant a block away too.

Can't recommend this lovely apartment more- it is in an arty, happening part of Brooklyn and the apartment is calm and serene. Beautifully done out- easy access to Manhattan on the subway over Brooklyn Bridge. It's ace.
