Reviewer: Emma
Comments: Apartment is really lovely, and is really close to the subway so it's easy to get around. Sarah and Jack were great hosts. They made me feel really welcome, were really flexible and friendly - couldn't ask for better hosts!

Reviewer: Sasiwan
Comments: They are very helpful and friendly. The apartment is close to F train, so it's easy and convenient for us.

Reviewer: Catherine
Comments: We had a great stay here, Sarah was a great host, the room is nice, the pets are adorable, there were cider and granola bars for us, the subway map and the recommendations for shops and restaurants were very helpful. And thank you so much for letting us stay longer than the checkout time because our flight only departed in the evening. We would stay here again and recommend this place to everyone. Very close to the subway, to Prospect Park and some nice food.

Reviewer: Austin
Comments: An excellent host and an excellent house. Sarah was extremely helpful with her suggestions and her communication, and she was really accommodating with our erratic schedule and odd arrival and departure. It was blessedly easy to get from Sarah's place to the rest of the city. Her pets were really, friendly, too. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with Sarah again on a future trip to the city.

Reviewer: Károly
Comments: I had a great time in NYC. The accommodation is as described. It is really close to the subway station, so I could get anywhere really quickly. Sarah and Jack were really helpful and their dog and cats were very friendly. I arrived in NY quite late, but that was not a problem for them.

Reviewer: Akhat
Comments: Great stay, very well organized, and the room is very new yorkish, with lots of fancy little things. It's not a regular IKEA place, on the contrary many items are set to have something particular reminding of the good old days. The neighborhood was safe and the location is easy to reach with a subway or on buses. Highly recommending for the great value to anyone looking for a trip to NYC.

Reviewer: Simon
Comments: Sarah and Jack are awesome hosts. Their apartment is gorgeous and close to the subway which made it easy for us to get back after long days out in the city. The apartment is in a quieter neighborhood which we appreciated as it offered us a break from the bustling nature of New York City. The room is super comfortable and spacious, and the price is unbeatable for what you get. We didn't get the chance to interact much with our hosts as we were out and about but they were really friendly, as well as their pets. I definitely recommend Sarah's place!

Reviewer: Howard
Comments: Staying at Sarah's place was perfect for our trip to NYC, the apartment has a great atmosphere and vibe. It's located a stone throw to the subway with connections to Manhattan and further into Brooklyn. The subway took around 20-25 mins into Manhattan which was great. Sarah and Jack are super nice friendly people who made us feel very welcome. They also provided us with lots of great tips for things to do, see and visit! We loved their pets, they were super cute and friendly with great characters, they provided us with so many laughs and smiles during our stay. I would totally recommend staying at Sarah's, we are looking forward to when we can make a return trip!

Reviewer: Yuliya
Comments: We loved our stay at Sarah’s place and will definitely come back! The hosts are great, very welcoming and ready to help. The apartment is cool and stylish. The room is bright and clean with nice thoughtful touches (snacks, tips for travelers, maps, etc.). The place is very close to subway and has street parking available, if you arrive early enough. Highly recommend!

Reviewer: Jonathan
Comments: Fantastic hosts! They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The apartment is really close to the subway and surrounded by a bunch of great restaurants. Would definitely recommend!

Reviewer: Shewit
Comments: Nice couple, lovely and friendly pets
-
Reviewer: Caleb
Comments: Very close to the F train, which is one of the main lines running into Manhattan. Jack and Sarah are super nice, and they're very knowledgeable about the area. Lots of nice little extras, like an available umbrella if it rains, Netflix on the TV in the room, etc.

Reviewer: Ishan
Comments: Sarah is a warm and gracious host. The place is beautiful and its in close proximity to the public transit. I'd highly recommend this place!

Reviewer: Lanora
Comments: We had a great experience here - Sarah and Jack were super accommodating and flexible. We had a late bus ride out of NYC and they let us leave our bags there past check-out time so we wouldn't have to carry them around all day. Also a great place if you're an animal person because their cats and dog are very friendly. The nearness of the subway station was also convenient; the ride into the city takes a little while, but it's definitely worth it if you're not in a big rush. I really recommend staying here!

Reviewer: Chassidy
Comments: I highly recommend staying at Sarah’s. She was absolutely fantastic. (And I’m sure her husband is too! But we were only at the apartment to sleep, so we didn’t see him very much) Sarah was so quick to respond to questions when we were trying to figure out the subway system. Thoughtful little touches. Very comfy bed. And the pets were adorable. The train right by the apartment is so safe and a straight shot into the city. The neighborhood was very safe as well. We rode the subway late and got home late and never once did we feel uncomfortable walking from the station to the apartment.

Reviewer: Frauke
Comments: Sarah and her boyfriend live with their cats and a dog in a beautiful appartment in Brooklyn. The next subway and good restaurants were just a few steps away. They were both very helpful and friendly. I would be pleased to visit them again in the future.

Reviewer: Sarah
Comments: Sarah and Jack are amazing. They have a wonderful place in a great location with an insanely comfortable bed and seriously cute animals. They made themselves readily available, too, and had great tips on places in the area to check out.

Reviewer: Rebecca
Comments: Sarah and Jack were outstanding hosts! We would definitely stay with them again. The room was so cozy and their animals were super cute! It was our first time using AirBnB and they were amazing. We would definitely recommend them!

Reviewer: Huey Chin
Comments: Clean, neat,cozy place. good and safe location . Within 10minutes walk to subway and supermarket, laundry service and cafes just at the corner. Appreciate Sarah and her husband help me to get uber last minutes from her place to airport(New York Uber don't accept cash payment). I have great time with them and their dog and cats.

-
Reviewer: Sidney
Comments: Sarah is a fantastic hostess. The apartment is spotless and filled with life. In addition Sarah was extremely kind and she went out of her way to make sure my boyfriend and I were comfortable. If you’re looking for a homey place to stay, with an awesome hostess and a killer pizza place (Fazio) down the street. This is the place for you.
-
Reviewer: Bec
Comments: We had an amazing stay here. Thank you so much for an incredible time. Sarah & Jack were thoughtful, helpful & had some great suggestions. We can not recommend them enough. If we’re ever back in New York we would definitely stay here again.
-
Reviewer: Ed
Comments: Ik boekte deze B&B toen Sarah & Jack nog op hun vorige adres woonde. Achteraf ben ik blij dat ik “mee gegaan” ben naar hun nieuwe adres. Prettige ruime kamer in een prettige, veelal door Puertoricanen bewoonde buurt. Prettige communicatie met mijn hosts. Ze hebben een lieve rustige hond en 2 katten, van wie er 1 erg gehecht lijkt te zijn aan jouw kamer. Als je daar geen prijs op stelt, zijn je hosts je daarbij graag van hulp. Prima B&B!
-
Reviewer: Claudia
Comments: Comunicazione veloce con Sarah e Jack, quando c’è stato qualche piccolo malinteso abbiamo subito risolto. I loro animali domestici sono adorabili (ma chiudete la porta se non volete averli in camera, il primo giorno soprattutto tendono ad essere entusiasti di conoscervi e potrebbero invadere un po’ gli spazi). La casa è carina, l’unico difetto è il bagno un po’ piccolo ma è funzionale, la posizione è buona ma non ottima se si deve andare a Manhattan tutti i giorni in quanto è un po’ distante, ma tutto sommato ce la siamo cavata con i mezzi pubblici. L’aspetto positivo è che abbiamo avuto un assaggio della vera NY e di Brooklyn, non quella sempre patinata di Manhattan, ed è stato interessante.

Reviewer: Anthony
Comments: You won't find a better place to stay in Brooklyn. The room was very comfortable and clean with clear instructions for check-in and your stay. Jack was full of insightful tips about the neighbourhood, such as things to do and places to eat/check out. It is conveniently located for the subway system and is around really great bars and restaurants. Also, the dog and cats just add to the already great experience!

Reviewer: Bart
Comments: The house is located very central in Bushwick Brooklyn and that’s a great place to stay! Young, vibrant, living... Sarah is a lovely friendly host. The house is small but clean and has everything you need. ( good pub and pizza around the corner, good bed, clean shower ). Be carefull: this is not Manhattan, but hey... Brooklyn is fine!

Reviewer: Imani
Comments: Great.
-
Reviewer: Mara
Comments: Sarah and Jake are great hosts! They gave me many advices and made me feel like home. The flat is nice and well equipped, with a small cute terrace where having breakfast. Everything was perfectly clean. The location is convenient too, just 10 min walking distance from the closest subway station to Manhattan and in a very interesting and lively district which has been a great surprise for me! And don't forget the 2 lovely cats and the sweet dog that will welcome you every time you come back home! But don't worry, they are very quiet and respectful! I highly recommend Sarah and Jake's place!

Reviewer: Frances
Comments: Really nice room in a great neighbourhood. Not too far from the subway (about 10 mins walk). Lovely pets in the apartment :)
-
Reviewer: Kelsey
Comments: Amazing host with 3 gorgeous pets!! Location is about 40mins on subway into Manhattan - closest station is about 10min walk away. Great value and Sarah is a fountain of knowledge about the area and things to do/eat! Would totally recommend staying here especially if you don’t mind the somewhat long ride into the centre of Manhattan.

Reviewer: Natalia
Comments: First time in New York for myself and a friend, we were honestly a little apprehensive to stay in Brooklyn because we didn’t know the area much but Sarah’s place was super cute we couldn’t pass it up. Our plane got delayed about an hour so we got to the apartment later than expected. Sarah and her husband Jack were super nice and accommodating! Gave us awesome tips and the few times we were able to talk to them they were always friendly and ready to eat about our NYC adventures! Also she has the most amazing pets Ruby, Lola and Zeplin! Definitely a recommended stay, definitely will book again :)

Reviewer: Sanober
Comments: Had a lovely stay at Sarah’s. She not only had the place all clean and ready but also added personal touches like a cold bottle of water with a glass, a bowl of chocolates. The apartment is 10mins walk to the subway with a convenient commute to Manhattan.
-
Reviewer: Sofia
Comments: This is one of the best finds on Airbnb. It’s amazing value for money, as it’s just such a nice room and apartment in a very cool area. Sarah has made a guide for food, drinks and things to do in the area and New York more broadly, which is amazing. We tried several of the places on their list and they were very good. The pets are very cute and well-behaved. Overall, it was just very easy to be a tourist when you stay in Sarah and Jack’s apartment and I would highly recommend it.

Reviewer: Leili
Comments: Good place to stay. The house is about 10 minutes walk from the station. the bedroom is really quiet and we did not hear a single bark from your dog. bed and linens good. we recommend it!

Reviewer: Fern
Comments: Sarah and Jack were wonderful hosts. Their place was very charming and had some lovely personal touches. The room was very spacious and clean. The walk to the subway was just a few blocks and the area had some really cool spots around for coffee and food. I highly recommend Sarah and Jack’s place and I’d love to book again in the future.

Reviewer: Bruno
Comments: El apartamento y el cuarto son enormes considerando que estás en New York. Sarah y Jack son muy amables, te ayudan en lo que puedan. Como mencioné, el cuarto es enorme y tienes todas lo necesario. El apartamento a 30 minutos de Manhattan pero muy cerca del metro que te lleva a todos lados, te da la oportunidad de realmente vivir la vida como todo un neoyorquino. Regreso sin problemas!
-
Reviewer: Abigail
Comments: AMAZING DEAL! The accommodations were lovely & we enjoyed the apartment so much! It was clean, cozy, and stylish. Sarah’s communication was top notch. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting to escape to the city for a quick vacation & definitely would stay here again!

Reviewer: Chloée
Comments: Sarah is lovely, even with my mom not speaking very good english, they managed to have conversations, she is very understanding and understandable ! Her pets are very nice and friendly, and her dog is amazingly well educated, never barks, wont jump on you. the place it self is nice and clean, room very stylish. however, it is an appartment, meaning theres people under AND above, which makes the place really noisy. the walls are also quite thin so we can easily hear what's going on around. it also is about 40minutes away from Manhattan, which in our opinion was a bit too far.. also, make sure you can contact them at all times, because due to a 2hours delay at the airport, we almost had to find another place to sleep at (her husband was kind enough to stay up till 1am though)

Reviewer: Katie
Comments: Sarah was very sweet in keeping in excellent touch with me daily, as our schedule changed due to unexpected events on our end. We hope to stay with Sarah and Jack next time we are in Brooklyn!

Reviewer: Santiago
Comments: Sarah and Jack are very nice and helpful. The subway station is a few minutes away and has a lot of stores to buy food or cofee. The bed is really confortable. They have 2 cats and a dog... they are all very sweet! We sure recommend this place to stay when you travel to NY!

Reviewer: Miles
Comments: Me and my girlfriend had a couple very nice days there. The apartment has a very good location! By walking less minutes you can get to subway stations and to some super cool supermarkets and food bazars. The pets they have are so cute and curious. That's why we enjoyed our stay there. Sarah and Jack are so friendly, and we had a good communication with them. It's typical for New Yorker apartments that they have trouble with cockroaches, so we saw some there too. But Jack and Sarah immediately did the best they could to deal with this problem and to get rid of the very little number of cockroaches we saw there. That was very helpful. We would definitely recommend this apartment to any one! And we hope to be there some day again (not just because we miss the pets :) ) And if you want to eat one of the best pizzas of your life - please taste the delicious pizza from "Tony's" nearby the apartment.
