Great Brooklyn location

Nice garden level apartment on quiet street with fantastic owners. Clean and comfortable living space that included 2 bedrooms, kitchen and living room. Washer/dryer downstairs and in great condition. Nice outdoor space out back but we didn’t use it as we were gone most of the day.

Perfect for resting after a crazy day in the city

We were so happy we decided to rent this condo in the Brooklyn area instead of staying in Manhattan. The location is very close to the subway station that will take you pretty much anywhere you want to go in Manhattan. We were nervous about taking the subway but after a couple days we were feeling like experts. Planning your day out in advance helps. Manhattan is nonstop people and activity and honking. Every day we spent in the Manhattan area made us greatful to be back in the quieter more relaxed part of Brooklyn. There are several great restaurants and a fabulous bakery within walking distance of this location. Paul and Ewa were very helpful, but didn't interfere in any way. If we visit New York City again we will definitely try to stay here.

Charming Brownstone Apartment and Perfect Location!

Our family had the pleasure of renting this beautiful brownstone in the heart of Carroll Gardens over New Years weekend. The apartment was well furnished, very clean and had all the comforts of home. We were welcomed with fresh flowers in the bedroom and fruit in the kitchen. It is very close to the subway, which allows you to be in Manhattan in a matter of minutes. If you are looking for a nice, quiet place to retire to after a busy day in the city, this is it. Brooklyn is full of unique neighborhood markets (Union Market and Traders Joe's are within walking distance) and awesome restaurants (Savoia, Le Provence and Stone Park Cafe in Park Slope). The owners were so nice and very accommodating. They went out of their way to answer any questions and were always available. They provided recommendations of things to see and restaurants to visit locally. When we return to NYC we will definitely rent this apartment again.

Great location, clean and quiet

I had a terrific 1 month stay here. The apartment is clean and quiet with a nice big bedroom and well set up second bedroom/office which was well set up for remote work. I had my dog with me and so having access to the back yard plus the Carroll Garden Park a block away was fantastic. Paul and Ewa were good landlords -- available when I had questions, friendly, but not intrusive. The Cobble Hill neighborhood is lovely, full of great cafes and restaurants and close to subways that make the whole city accessible.

Fantastic local Brooklyn experience

What a fantastic way to experience Brooklyn! This lovely 2 bedroom garden apartment in Carroll Gardens was the ideal way to experience Brooklyn and NYC overall. The unit itself appears to be recently renovated/updated with a modern kitchen and bathroom - it's on a quiet low traffic street with trees surrounding you from all angles but just 2 min walk to Court Street and Smith Street for retail, dining and fun. The F and the G train are less than a block away, making city trips easy and for those with children we found 5+ different playgrounds within 5 mins of the house. The hosts are generous, polite and respectful. You won't go wrong here!

Family coziness in New York City

We stayed at Paul and Ewa’s place for a month with our 18 month old toddler. There are so many nice things to say about the location within Brooklyn that it’s easy to forget about the apartment itself. But I’ll get to that. Still, this is one of the cosiest Brooklyn neighbourhoods one can imagine and perfect to spend with a toddler. The playground is right outside - on the way there mom and dad can grab a coffee at the Hungry Ghost café on the corner. The indoor playground (KidVille) is also handy to have nearby for the rainy days. As it was chilly we didn’t spend any time in the apartment’s garden but it sure provides the same sense of coziness as in the public space. The kitchen is well furnished - pots and pans a plenty - and we cooked quite some meals though there’s obviously no shortage to have food delivered at your doorstep either. The pictures confirm the top notch state of the apartment. Maybe, as it is a basement unit, in winter it will be less ‘bright’ as the pictures make it seem, but this won’t be an issue in Summer :) oh and there’s floor heating which we definitely missed the day we got back in our own home! And then there’s Paul and Ewa. Warm hosts and extremely accommodating in all aspects. We are very grateful for all the advice they provided. They made this temporary home truly feel like a home.

Family Trip

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Brooklyn. The apartment was clean and comfortable and allowed us some space to rest after long days of activity. The nearby subway stops made it easy for our family of 4 (kids ages 10 & 11) to navigate NYC. Although we loved our outings in Manhattan, most evenings we found ourselves back in Carroll Gardens around dinner time. This was a highlight of our trip; walking to the multitude of restaurants and shops within minutes of the apartment. Ewa was a wonderful host.

A wonderful location, perfect property for a NY visit and great hosts!

My wife and I stayed at the property with our two teenage children for 5 days and it was a great home-base for exploring NY and Brooklyn. The property itself is meticulously maintained and has everything you need as a home-base for an extended stay. The location in Brooklyn is very convenient with coffee shops, restaurants and everything you need half a block away (parts of it reminded us of our hometown of Portland OR). The best part was the sense of neighborhood with families on the streets and an elementary school nearby, all of which gave us and our kids insight into what it is like living in Brooklyn, which is is much better than staying in a hotel. Getting into the city was trivial, with a subway station a block away and the F-train taking you to all the major sites without having to change trains. It was so easy, that we spent one evening in the DUMBO neighborhood and had the kids ride the subway back by themselves. The hosts are great and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. We will definitely look to come back on our next trip.

Die Wohnung ist wirklich ein Schmuckstück. Hell, freundlich, bequem und gemütlich. Ewa und Paul sind super nett und hilfsbereit. Sie sind sehr angenehme Vermieter. Sie haben uns bei unserer Gepäckangelegenheit bei der Airline sehr geholfen. Vielen Dank nochmal! Die Wohnung ist ruhig gelegen in Brooklyn. Perfekt zu erreichen mit der Subway. In der Umgebung sind viele kleine Läden und Restaurants. Man fühlt sich wie zu Hause. Wir waren wirklich sehr zu Frieden.

Friendly hosts, Charming, clean, well-appointed, perfect location

We stayed for a week, and could not have been happier with our visit. The apartment is cozy and well stocked with all the basics, and a perfect size for our family (2 adults + toddler). It is in a prime Carroll Gardens location close to grocery stores and restaurants and very close to the F train - perfect location! Paul and Ewa were gracious hosts - easy to get ahold of and and responded quickly to our few questions. Could not recommend their apartment more, and we can’t wait to return!

Perfect location, spotless unit

We had a great time staying for 6 nights at Paul & Ewas unit - they helped us move in our gear for our 2 kids, and were wonderful hosts. The unit was beautiful and had everything we needed for a weeks stay with a 2 and 4 year old - including kids toys and books - and a fully stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and the entire unit was beautifully done. Would recommend to anyone - one block to the F to midtown Manhattan!

Elke keer opnieuw heerlijk thuiskomen na een drukke dag Manhattan!

Het appartement, in het basement van een brownstone, ligt in een rustige straat met om de hoek tal van winkels en eetgelegenheden. De metro is heel dichtbij (3 à 4 minuten te voet). De beschrijving van het apt stemt overeen met de beschrijving op de website, incl. terras en tuintje. Het is goed onderhouden, net en ruim, met voldoende licht. Prima ingericht en uitgerust. De badkamer is ruim en er is voldoende opbergruimte. Producten als shampoo, zeep e.d.m. zijn aanwezig en van goede kwaliteit. Wel jammer dat er geen afzonderlijk toilet is. De keukentoestellen zijn degelijk. We misten wel een handleiding voor bepaalde toestellen. Er zijn voldoende onderhoudsproducten aanwezig - ook vaatwastabletten. Essentiële kruiden zijn beschikbaar. Wat meer bestek zou een pluspunt zijn. De gastheer en -vrouw zijn heel bereidwillig en ze spannen zich in om het hun gasten naar de zin te maken. Aanbevolen!

a place you don't want to leave

Thanks to Ewa and Paul we stayed in a stylish furnitured, though comfortable apartment, very clean and well looked after, the kitchen equipped as it were yours at home, the beds most comfortable. The two bedrooms are really separated, the king-size is a real king size, and the little terrace in the garden offers an additional space. We found Carroll Gardens a friendly neighbourhood with lots of good place for dining, convenient access to Metro and thereby to Manhatten. Definitely, we would go there a second time.

Very comfortable, quiet apartment in a great local area

Myself, husband and 10 year old son stayed here for 5 nights. The garden apartment is situated in a quiet leafy street, only a few minutes walk from the nearest subway. It is very well equipped, nice furniture, good bathroom with a great shower and best of all, the beds are extremely comfortable - very much needed after a full days sightseeing in New York! Brooklyn is a more peaceful alternative to the bustle of Manhatten and has many great local restaurants - we found several excellent Thai restaurants, a great Bistro and there are many Italian restaurants as well. There are local supermarkets nearby as well and many independent shops. The owners live upstairs, are very friendly and are happy to offer recommendations for local restaurants. We had a fantastic stay here, would highly recommend the apartment and would definately rent it again, on our next return to New York City.

Sehr geräumige, geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung in ruhiger Lage

Diese Wohnung kann man nur weiterempfehlen. Wir ( 2 Ew.+ 2 ew. Ki.) haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Es fehlte an nichts. In jedem Zimmer gab es eine Klimaanlage, was im August sehr vorteilhaft ist. Die Betten waren super bequem. Die Umgebung ist sicher, viel Grün und hübsche Häuser befinden sich drumherum. Lebensmittelgeschäfte und nette, kleine Restaurants findet man fußläufig. Nach Touren durch das quirlige Manhattan wussten wir den mit Bambus bewachsenen Hausgarten sehr zu schätzen.Die Verkehrsanbindung ist ausgezeichnet (zwei U-Bahnlinien fast direkt vor der Haustür). Ewa und Paul sind sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, die die Privatsphäre ihrer Gäste immer respektieren.

We have returned again and again to Paul and Ewa's delightful apartment in the heart of vibrant Carroll Gardens.That in itself is the biggest recommendation for staying in this property which is fully deserved of the 5 star reviews ! Paul and Ewa are thoughtful and delightful hosts while the apartment is private, attractive and spotlessly clean.This is a true experience of the social and environmental pleasures to be found in a delightful part of Brooklyn.

We can't say enough about how happy we were with our stay in this lovely apartment! It is bright and airy and refreshing which is what you need after touring around the city all day. My wife & I stayed here with our two boys in mid-June and had ample space! The neighborhood offers a lot in the way of grocery stores (Trader Joe's & Whole Foods), boutique coffee shops & eateries and proximity to the subway. Just a great place to stay! We will definitely be returning in the future.

Nice apartment; lovely and convenient location

The apartment is well supplied with everything we needed for a comfortable long weekend visit. We were out a lot of the time but the living space was great for the two of us and another couple who stayed with us. We had an issue come up and Paul was quick to take care of it. He and Ewa were responsive and friendly. The location is just a couple minutes walk to the F and G subway on a very quiet street with lovely front gardens. We also enjoyed sitting in the back garden when the weather was nice.

Perfect in every way!

This comfortable, well-equipped, ideally-located apartment is the perfect home-base from which to explore Brooklyn and Manhattan. Carroll Gardens is our favorite neighborhood, and we have rented several apartments here; this was our hands-down favorite. The bed was very comfortable, nice-quality linens and towels, the kitchen was well-designed and well-equipped (not always the case with this type of rental.) The furnishings are attractive and comfortable. The birds in the lovely garden provided a symphony with our morning coffee! thank you, Pauland Ewa.
