About this property

Ground floor apartment of our Brooklyn brownstone/townhouse.

The house was built in 1898 and has lots of beautiful original details. Free WiFi included as well as Coffee/tea with a Keurig Platinum Brewing system. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of cups, glasses, pots and pans, sharp knives, etc. We recently renovated the kitchen with brand new countertops, fridge, and high end appliances: Bosch dishwasher, Gaggenau oven, Wolf gas cooktop.

Guests have exclusive use our beautiful decked garden area with a bamboo wall, couches and bistro table. The upstairs deck is only for our upstairs tenants.

The apartment has one large bedroom with a King size bed and a twin size daybed that also has a trundle bed underneath. Both are beautiful Restoration Hardware furniture pieces.

For guests staying during the hot summer months (July/August), we have a standalone air conditioner in the main bedroom, but there is no AC in the kitchen/lounge area. It's generally just fine with the fans we have, but if you are very sensitive to heat and need the room cold, then this may not be the best place in the summer. Please always turn off the AC when leaving the apartment to help us preserve energy.

A few blocks to Prospect Park with beautiful walks, great for jogging or cycling. The Audubon Center is right there by the Lake with Boat Rides. At the Prospect Park tennis center, there are always courts available by the hour. Prospect park also hosts the famous Drummers Circle and Brooklyn's large farmers market on weekends at Grand Army Plaza. Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Zoo, and the Brooklyn Public Library are all within a 15 minute walk. 20 minutes by subway to Manhattan.

The kitchen has a 4 ring Wolf gas stovetop, Bosch dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, solid pots, sharp knives, and all the utensils needed. The smart TV has netflix, amazon prime, HBO Max, etc.

We just installed brand new Bosch Washer and Dryer units in the apartment for guests to use.

Great place in Brooklyn

We had a great time. The apartment was perfect for us. It was convenient to transportation and for walking to great places in Brooklyn. We had three adults and just the right amount of space. We loved the kitchen although we didn't really cook. The back garden was lit up in the evening and looked lovel through the kitchen window.

Not clean nor well equipped.

While the property is interestingly quirky, we were not impressed with the cleanliness, location or overall experience. The backyard, while cute, was quite dirty.

Charming apartment in a interesting neighborhood

We stayed in this charming old-world style apartment for three nights recently - we were a large family group but felt there was sufficient room. The kitchen is lovely, the furniture is great. It is a basement apartment (which I didn't realize before we arrived) although there are large windows. The back door is padlocked, so no access to the back yard (fire hazard?). Easy walk to subway and coffee shops, street is charming. There was some violence on Flatbush (shooting at 3 am) but never felt any hostility on the streets during the day. Very international vibe to the area, with fun food options (one of us is vegetarian).

As promised

This property is exactly as it is described on the Honeaway website. The owners, who live upstairs, are gracious landlords who were responsive to any questions/needs that we had. We stayed with our son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandaughters. The beds were made to accomodate the 6 of us and there were chocolates on the pillows. The property was also outfitted with a Keurig coffee machine with pods, a French press with ground coffee, bottles of water and plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, soap, conditioner etc. The property is on a lovely residential street but Flatbush Ave. with the Q line and a number of Indian, Chiinese takeout and an Northern Italian restaurant is 5-10 minutes away. The property is clean and I would recommend it and would use it again.

Charming Property

My daughter, granddaughter and I stayed for 4 nights while my daughter ran the NYC Marathon. It is located close to my son's apartment and overall, very accessible to the subway system and fast ride into Manhattan. Located on a quiet neighborhood street but close to restaurants, grocery stores and other amenities. This property had everything we needed, including full kitchen and 2 showers in the bathroom. Nicely decorated (shabby chic style), comfortable beds. Weren't able to use outdoor space because of weather, but it looked very nice. The property owners were extremely responsive. Would stay there again.

Delightful apt- Stunning original artwork- Beautiful tree-lined street- Owner/Hosts EXTRADINAIR!

My sister & I chose this VRBO because it was close to my neice's apartment, it was in one of those 'famous' Brooklyn Brownstone homes, and it looked to be full of character & charm, architectural detail, and cool artwork. It was all of the above. But we were most impressed with Sylvia & Andre who were SO gracious & attentive. Not to mention, it's his photography and her oils that grace the walls....its like living in your own private art gallery! There are a couple of neighborhood food markets close by, and a super-friendly neighborhood corner pub, "Midwood Flats", which we loved. We definitely recommend this little ground floor gem! ....and on a chilly night, you must relax by the fire pit in the back garden. We certainly did.

It was okay for the price

When we arrived the apartment was extra warm and smelled stale as if it had been closed up for sometime. After I personally mopped the floors, wipe the cabinets and dusted the apartment smelled really fresh. The location was great we walked to MangoSeed and had a great lunch and drinks.

Loved it! Great location in Brooklyn

We loved this Brooklyn Brownstone. And just as the owner described, it felt like we were on Sesame Street! It is clean and had EVERYTHING you need. We were in town for 4 nights and had to attend a graduation. We loved the location just 3-4 blocks from subway entrance. A coffee and bagel shop were close by too. We would definitely rent here again. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Fantastic Brooklyn spot

The house was clean and well decorated with lots of character. Very easy walk to the subway. Quiet streets and well lit so I felt safe walking alone. Prospect Park was a quick walk and amazing for my morning runs. I would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Garden Apt with full kitchen 2 blocks from Prospect Park and the Q line to NYC

The space is charming and spacious with 3 beds to choose from (daybed, queen and single), a full kitchen with breakfast table overlooking the back garden area. Just steps to Prospect Park and the fast Q-B lines, it couldn't be more conveniently located if you prefer to be outside the hustle and bustle of the city. As a pet-friendly garden apartment on a beautiful historically landmarked block in Prospect Lefferts Garden, a friendly neighborhood, it was a pleasure walking around in a place where people still say, "Good morning and Good Evening to oone another.'" WIth an abundance of heaters, blankets or fans, depending on your preferred temperature, iPhone chargers and fast wifi and Andre's ready response, you're well taken care of. I used this space as a base camp while I looked for apartments in the area. Sylvia and Andre were great hosts and are my favorite new neighbors. Rent with confidence.

Perfect for our needs.

We had a lovely stay in this basement apartment. Sylvia and Andre were friendly and very accommodating of our family. The apartment is nicely appointed with attractive furniture and large paintings and photographs done by the owners. The kitchen could use some work, but there's lots of room to sit around the table and enjoy a cup of (provided) coffee and a meal. The back patio is very inviting, but it snowed so we didn't get a chance to use it. It's a great location - a quick walk to Prospect Park and to restaurants that we enjoyed.

Absolutely charming!

Sylvia and Andre own a lovely brownstone in a wonderfully diverse Brooklyn neighborhood that features easy transportation into the city and a variety of stores and restaurants. They have preserved the historic character of the apartment while equipping it with the all the appliances, WiFi and TV any traveler could wish for. The outdoor seating area would be most inviting in the warm weather. Additionally, Sylvia was very responsive and helpful when we had a problem with a lost item. We loved our stay there.

Great space! Clean, comfortable and kind hosts

This place was fantastic. The hosts go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. Andre was very kind and accommodating. We liked that it had 2 showers in the bathroom which made it easier for our group of 6 to get ready for the day. The back patio is beautiful and we found the apartment to be really charming. We hope to be back again next time we visit Brooklyn

Fun spot for nyc visitors

A lovely spot perfect for out three person family. Thoughtfully appointed for travelers. We were there in very cold weather and this didn’t take advantage of the pretty backyard patio, which I’m sure would be wonderful in warm weather. Close to subway, good neighborhood restaurants nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Sylvia & Andre

Why they chose this property

We live in a lovely landmark protected neighborhood. All the houses were built in the late 1800s and very well taken care of. It's a little like Sesame street, with stoops where people hang out and chat with one another.
