Brooklyn Brownstone apartment

Reviews

• Reviewer: Sheila

  Comments: We have always had awesome experiences when using AirBnB which is why we always keep coming back. But staying here at Al's beautiful brownstone home far exceeded our expectations. We booked last minute and he was able to accommodate us. When I say last minute, I found his post and within an hour we were picking up the key. He was very nice and met us at the house. He even told us local places within walking distance to check out to eat and try. The next morning, he had even offered us breakfast! Such an awesome host. The place is beautiful and looks like the pictures. The kitchen is trendy then you get the home feel with the beautiful hard wood floor and brick wall. LOTS AND LOTS OF SPACE! We didnt even use all of it. The neighborhood is beautiful. It is part of the trendy Bed-Stuy area. You will love it here. It is very close to the train also. Also, they have a back area to use if necessary. We def will be back to stay when we are back in Brooklyn!

  Comments: AL welcomed us very well and the apartment was exactly as described, very close to the bedford nostrand station and some shops to get something to eat. Al, the owner seems to be avery nice guy, always available to answer our questions. we wish we had more time to spend talking with him.

• Reviewer: Jonathan

  Comments: Nice apartment and very friendly host. Subway is in just 2 minutes walking distance.

• Reviewer: Aurelien

  Comments: Great place, very well located (the subway station couldnt be closer!). We arrived very late at night but Al had arranged everything so it was not a problem. I would stay there again.

• Reviewer: Melor

  Comments: Al Khabir was a great host! Even before the weekend of the trip, Al was quick to respond to all my messages/texts. And once we arrived he was there with the key and even helped us unload :) The place was beautiful and in a great area of Brooklyn. Close to bars & delis. We drove into the city and thought parking would be a problem, but parking wasn't a problem at all (a lot of street parking.) Overall, a great host, great place to stay and would love to stay there again once my girlfriends and I plan another trip into NYC!

• Reviewer: Tiffany

  Comments: My stay here was amazing!! The place was beautiful and very spacious. Any question I needed answered was responded to immediately by the host. My only regret was not staying longer. I will most definitely be back!

• Reviewer: Lars

  Comments: Great flat in a nice neighbourhood, the host Al is a great guy!

• Reviewer: Stuart

  Comments: The apartment was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The host even provided a few little extras like fresh fruit. It is conveniently close to a subway station to get to any point around the city.

• Reviewer: Nat

  Comments: First off.. The apartment is amazing, better than the photos, second of all, the host is a really cool guy, he tries to attend to all your needs and answers all your questions at all times, and is never in your way or a bother.. Really awesome. I will def be staying at this place again :) thank you!! :3

• Reviewer: Bruce

  Comments: Had a great time staying at the Clifton apartment. Quite spacious, especially for NY apartments. Was the entire lower floor of a Brooklyn brownstone. The host lives above so he was very responsive to opening and closing our stay. The apartment comes with a kitchen and most items to cook your own food. Close to the G subway so was able to get around Brooklyn or into Manhatten easily. Will stay again when we come to visit our son (lives 4 doors away).

• Reviewer: Qamariah

  Comments: Al was a great host! He was always making sure that my friend and I were having a comfortable stay and even took the extra mile to show us the way around the neighborhood and to the nearest subway station! Al's brownstone apartment was also clean and very spacious and has all the amenities we needed. We had a very lovely stay and would definitely recommend it to everyone!

• Reviewer: Morteza

  Comments: Al is a wonderful host. The place was clean and had everything, even some beer in the fridge!

• Reviewer: Pieter

  Comments: Stayed here for a month. Al is a great guy: friendly and very easy to reach when I needed him. The appartment is very nice and clean. The subway is very close, you can reach most parts of Manhattan in about 30 minutes. I initially wasn't sure about the safety of the neighborhood, but that went away pretty quickly. I definitely never had any problems. The bed was ok for me, but the pull-out couch didn't sleep very well. That is probably the only thing I would see as something to be aware of. Overall, I was very happy with my stay here. Would (and probably will) come back!

• Reviewer: Gonzalo

  Comments: Al was a great host. We arrived at midnight from the airport and he was outside waiting for us. Gave us good instructions on how to move around and he was always responsive any time we have a question. The place is very nice and clean. we were received with a basket of fruits and few drinks in the fridge. Location is good, half a block from subway line -G that will connect you to mayor lines going to Manhattan. Taxi fare to downtown Williamsburg is only $10.

• Reviewer: Natalie

  Comments: My mother and I stayed at Mr. Richman's apartment for 3 nights and we had a fantastic getaway! It was just what we needed: a nice, spacious, clean apartment, and it was only a block away from access to the Subway system. Mr. Richman was very nice and super helpful. I would definitely go back :)

• Reviewer: Kathy

  Comments: Perfect! Clean. Roomy. Comfy. Al thought of everything that makes people feel at home. From extra linen to an iron and more. .... This apartment was so comfortable for me and my grandson and would be as comfortable for a large family. Hope to return. Loved it. Al was a great host. Kathy

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: My husband and I just stayed here because of the proximity to our son's apartment. All of the arrangements were easy and we were very pleasantly surprised on arrival. The apartment is spacious and clean and our host had left drinks and fruit in the fridge as well as bagels! The location is perfect for public transportation as well as accessing the local bars and restaurants. Even walking back to the apartment at midnight, we never felt uncomfortable and will certainly return on our next visit.

• Reviewer: Nicole

  Comments: This is a great place to stay - quiet neighborhood, close to public transportation, and lots of room! We found Al to be very responsive, and when we had difficulty with the locks late one evening, he sent someone over to help us immediately. Plenty of towels and sheets, and even some basics in the fridge! Highly recommend this apartment, but make sure you check out the area beforehand - not very many bars/food choices as other areas (ie Williamsburg and Cobble Hill) but again, those areas (as well as Manhattan) are a short subway ride away.

• Reviewer: Kristina

  Comments: We stayed at Al's place for 5 nights during our first trip to NYC. The place itself was exactly as pictured, with the addition of two couches and a coffee table in the living area. The apartment was clean, and cool thanks to the air conditioner (our trip occurred in the middle of a heat wave, we were VERY thankful for the air conditioner). Overall, the location was the best part, one block from the G train, which connects you anywhere you want to go. We were able to take the subway everywhere, and walk to a bunch of amazing eateries nearby (be sure to check out Choice Market). Al was extremely efficient is answering any questions that we had, the wireless internet was a dream, the bed was very comfortable, and there were plenty of fresh towels available. Oh! And orange juice in the fridge. The neighbourhood was great; if you visit NYC and do not take advantage of your opportunity to stay in Brooklyn, you are truly missing out.

  Comments: Just to make it plain: AWESOME

• Reviewer: Bryce

  Comments: Stayed here over a weekend - super easy working with Al! Apartment is great, located in Clinton Hill just a few minutes away from a G train station. Everything is clean and well kept, with all listed in amenities available.

• Reviewer: Anne-Caroline

  Comments: Al's appartment is clean, William welcoming is great, Downtown is 30 min away by subway ( near home). Just GO !

• Reviewer: Mya

  Comments: Will and Al were great hosts! They were so accomodating and got back to us immediately with any questions and concerns we had. They were really nice about the late check in time and were very considerate to any of our needs. The location itself is very safe and 5 minutes to downtown Brooklyn. The apartment was spacious and EXTREMELY CLEAN. Only problem was that it was so hot in the apartment even with leaving the AC on all day- we were so hot we could hardly sleep, we actually had to sleep right in front of the AC and move out of the bedroom to sleep on the floor. I'm sure if we asked we could have gotten another AC but we were so busy working during the day it was only an issue at night.

• Reviewer: Marie

  Comments: Very nice and spacious place in a very genuine and quiet area. Close to grocery stores and subway stations. Al is a wonderful and caring host, making sure you´ll get the very best out of your visit in NYC.

• Reviewer: Victoria

  Comments: I needed a last minute place to stay in Brooklyn and was just about to give up hope... but then I submitted one last inquiry. When Al wrote back almost immediately, I was ecstatic. The apartment was gorgeous, clean, and comfortable, I had total privacy, there was plenty of street parking, the neighborhood was great Al was extremely communicative -- he answered all of my questions right away. I would definitely stay here again... in fact, I hope to!

• Reviewer: Erika

  Comments: I stayed here for three weeks in preparation leading up to my New York wedding in September. It was a beautiful place and Al was a gracious host. He kept the place clean and stocked with linens, pots and pans, everything you might need. He also installed a huge air conditioning system while I was there, which helped with the warm weeks. The neighborhood is great. Safe and diverse with Tiny Cup coffee down the street and super close to the G train. We had a lovely wedding at the Brooklyn Bridge, and having this place available for me to finalize plans and relax before the wedding was perfect. I plan to stay here again when I am in New York. Thanks Al!

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: My wife Clara and I enjoyed our 9 day stay. Al is a very helpful landlord and took care of our requests very promptly. The apartment is spacious, both beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of clean dry towels. Although the subway is conveniently located about one block away, you must transfer to another train to get to Manhattan. Peter Hall

• Reviewer: Pauline

  Comments: Al was an excellent host and his apartment was just as pictured - super clean and beautiful. I had the pleasure of staying there with my baby and my parents and we all had a great time. Al was very flexible and easy to communicate with and did his best to be sure we were comfortable and ready to enjoy the city! Not only was the apartment totally wonderful, it really was just a block from the G-train making it a perfect home from which to explore nyc.

• Reviewer: Pedro

  Comments: Great appartment, clean and confortable! Good location! One block from the subway, you take the G train and L train and you're in manhattan, not far from Williamsburg (Hipster paradise).... Will definitely recommend this appartment to my friends and will come back on my next visit to NY!!

• Reviewer: Ko

  Comments: It was very easy working with Al-Khabir. He's a totally friendly, and welcoming host - even provided us with beer, OJ, water, and food! The place is very clean and nice, as in the posted picture. We came very soon after Hurricane Sandy, so the subway was still closed, but the G line station is just down the block. It would have been very convenient if it weren't for the outage. The large AC unit that was just installed before our stay was unfortunately not working, but there was another small IR heater unit that kept us warm during our stay. Thanks a lot!

• Reviewer: Marie

  Comments: My stay at this beautiful brownstone apartment in Brooklyn was excellent. The space is large and inviting and Al has considerately thought of every detail, small and large, that a guest might need for their stay. The bed and couches are incredibly comfy; I felt right at home! Communication, check-in, check-out were flawless. The neighborhood is great, close and convenient to many other points of interest in Brooklyn, but tucked in a little quiet nook that you can gratefully retreat to after a day's worth of activities. Parking was never a problem, which is a blessing in Brooklyn! Thanks for everything Al!

• Reviewer: Nicole

  Comments: The accomidations were exactly as described. Clean, updated, and really nice! The whole experience was seamless, and I would 100% stay here again!

• Reviewer: Mark

  Comments: This is a fantastic appartment. 2min walk to the G train which will have you in Manhattan in 20mins. Great location and neighbourhood. Al was very accomodating and provided us with everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place.

• Reviewer: Lara

  Comments: It was such a pleasure to stay at Al's brownstone. Checking in was a breeze and the location is really convenient to get around, as it is so close to the subway. It's located in a nice area with some great restaurants and cafes close by; I highly recommend Borough restaurant for some great classic American food, Dough for their amazing doughnuts, and Bedford Hill coffee bar, all within a couple minutes walk away on Franklin Ave. The place was clean and comfortable, and Al was very kind in having a fresh bottle of orange juice in the fridge and some delicious bagels for when we arrived! I would absolutely stay there again.

• Reviewer: Simon

  Comments: My family had a wonderful time in New York. We stayed in Al's apartment, which was very comfortable and well equipped. Al was very responsive. Went I shared with him that New York was very cold this winter, he immediately arranged for an extra space heater. The location of the apartment was very near the subway. Less than five minutes walk. I'll recommend Al's services based on this very positive experience.

• Reviewer: Joanna

  Comments: The good: great location right close to the subway and Scratch Bakery (you *have* to experience that place). It's huge and would have easily accommodated 6 people comfortably. We loved the OJ and water in the fridge, and the fruit on the table. Al was really responsive and there were lots of towels and linens. We had no problem getting in and checking out. The wireless internet was great too. The bad (which don't outweigh the good): it's a bit dingy, and the place needs a good scrub (especially the walls). There seemed to be hairs everywhere and the bathroom smelled like mildew. And because it's on the first floor it was pretty dark. Overall this was a nice stay. -March 2013

• Reviewer: Pamela

  Comments: Thanks Al !!! It was such a pleasure to stay at Al's brownstone. Great place : comfortable, good location, wireless internet. But the place needs a good cleaning (especially the walls and the kitchen). Overall this was a nice stay

• Reviewer: Cordula

  Comments: We had a wonderful 4-day-stay in Al's apartment which is very well situated to enjoy New York with family: nice neigbourhood in Brooklyn and easy access to Manhatten! The apartment is clean and comfortable. Although our booking was very late, communication, check-in and check-out were flawless and we even found water, beer and orange juice!

• Reviewer: Mathieu

  Comments: Good location. Clean. Orange juice and fruits :)! Nice experience

• Reviewer: Mitchell

  Comments: Al's place was great: clean, comfortable, quiet. Check in and check were easy. Al was very helpful and accommodating.

• Reviewer: Aleksandra

  Comments: Thank you for hosting my daughter and I! We really enjoyed staying in your place and had a wonderful time in NYC!

• Reviewer: Taj

  Comments: Beautiful and comfortable brownstone apartment. It was a pleasure staying at Al's place and although we did not meet he made available a very personable and helpful friend to assist me with any needs I had during my stay. I definitely recommend Al's place.

• Reviewer: Monique

  Comments: We have been very well hosted : every request has been taken into account and quickly answered. We stayed two weeks with our 19 months baby. He enjoyed the space to play and to run. The subway and a supermarket are very close. The neighborhood is quiet enough to have good nights.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: The location is great, 3 minutes walk to the G line of the subway. You will have to change trains to get into Mahattan but that's the norm if you want to move around in Mahattan anyway. We could get most any where in NY in about 40 minutes. Al is an excellent host. He was very responsive to my emails and questions. Let us drop the bags off early. Al recommended a really good Indian restaurant Bombay Heights around the corner from the apartment, we took friends that live in Brooklyn there and everyone loved it. Al also told us where to find a near by grocery store. The apartment is roomy, has everything you need, and looks just like the pictures; however, the apartment could use a little refresh in places. I would recommend Al's basement apartment to anyone, unless you only stay in four star hotels. It not that but it is affordable and nice. Thanks to Al for letting us stay.

• Reviewer: Christina

  Comments: This was my first AirBnB experience, and it was great. Even though we got in to the area late, it was easy to park, easy to find and easy to check in. There was lots of space - and it was a really sleek place. Plus it's just around the corner from the subway. I would definitely recommend Al's place. If we come back, we would stay here again.

• Reviewer: Nadi

  Comments: on this holiday we were living in two apartments. and that I liked the most. We were vacationing family. Everything was like a hotel, even more. for our arrival in the fridge already had water, juice and more. excellent hosts, quiet quarter near the subway. Thank you for your hospitality! with greetings from Russia)

• Reviewer: Erika

  Comments: We stayed at the Clifton Place apartment this weekend. It was great! Easy to get into, close to the train, fresh towels, and a clean apartment. It was a hot night and the AC worked great.

• Reviewer: Niki

  Comments: The stay with Al-RicHMAN was effortless. We got there, and were quickly let in. Wi-fi, great pub close by, & subway at the end of the street. If you are looking for a clean, easy place, this is it.

• Reviewer: Kobie

  Comments: this apartment was perfect for our week stay in NewYork. It is in a safe and quite neighbourhood and close to shops, laundry mat, bus stop etc. The subway is a 2 minute walk. Al was very easy to contact with emails answered normally within the hour. If i ever return to New York I would stay here again.

• Reviewer: Sam

  Comments: Great place to stay. Good neighbourhood and very comfortable apartment

• Reviewer: Patricia

  Comments: Great location! Very clean and spacious! I would stay again. If you need to be in Bed Stuy this is the place to stay. Quiet and accessible.

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: Al was pretty quick at responding. The appartment had all the basics and it was pretty easy to find street parking nearby. Al left some orange juice, fruit and water bottles, which was much appreciated. That being said, the appartement was pretty dirty, it seriously needs a cleaning and there were many huge black house flies (we killed 15 during our 4 day stay). The neighbourhood is sketchy and there isn't much to do nearby. The commute into the city is at least 45 minutes. So if you want a budget-friendly stay and dont mind staying in a dirty appartment, go for it!

• Reviewer: Wei

  Comments: Al was a great host. We never had a chance to meet, but he arranged for William to take care of us while we were staying at his place. The place was charming and conveniently located a short block away from the G train. The house is old (as many in NY are), so cleanliness was a bit below what we were used to, but over all, it was comfortable. Having AC during the middle of the 4th of July week heatwave up there was definitely a plus. We had to cut our stay a day shorter, and Al was very accommodating as well. I would highly recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Virginie

  Comments: My boyfriend and I had a great tome at Al's. the appartment was nice and clean. Al have been there to guide us and help us. I recommend everyone to stay at his appartment.

• Reviewer: Noam

  Comments: Al's apartment was great. We had a good experience contacting Al, he was flexible regarding the check in time, the apartment was clean and maintained, very close to the subway and at a good price. Although the neighborhood could seem a bit sketchy, nothing happened when we were there. If you want a nice place at a reasonable price and could handle a 30 minute commute to Manhattan, that's the place for you.

• Reviewer: Gilles

  Comments: Al and WIlliam were very nice and available ! But the appartment was dirty and needed a serious cleaning... In a charming street and very close to the subway !

• Reviewer: Sebastian

  Comments: What can I say? It was amazing... Lovely neighborhood, nice and clean appartment. Always help available if needed. Very close to subway, so you can get fast to manhattan for example. Absolutey recommendable! Stay at Al´s Apartment and you feel comfortable. Everything as described. Thank you so much Al!

• Reviewer: Hank

  Comments: Very nice place, great people helping out. The apartment is on the first floor, but lots of nice light and a green space out back. Large, comfortable, very close to the G train.

• Reviewer: Leah

  Comments: Al and William were very helpful and always available if we needed them- and the apartment was clean with fresh towels an some extra food staples, good AC, and close to subway. My only complaint was that towards the end of my stay, I asked for a late checkout (which at most hotels is an added, fair fee) - -there was no flexibility on price- I had to pay for another FULL day for some extra hrs worth of stay. That didn't bother me so much as William checking up on us 4times BEFORE my requested leave time - rushing me out an trying to get me out earlier than I had requested while I was trying to squeeze in the last of my time an say my goodbyes-- THAT was unfair and uncalled for ( especially after paying for another FULL days worth of stay.)

• Reviewer: Fiona

  Comments: We stayed at Al's apartment for a week. When we arrived at night my husband was not that impressed with the neighbourhood (large group of young people over the road playing very loud music) but after a few days the people in the street were saying hello to us as we left every morning and everything was fine. The apartment was very big compared to the space you would get in a hotel in Manhattan, which was great for my daughter and a baby that just wanted to crawl. The place was good but I probably wouldn't stay there again as it is a decent trip to get into Manhattan with 2 kids and more than once at night when we had lots of bags and tired children, the cab drivers refused to take us back there. One driver said he didn't have a clue where it was and had no GPS or map so we had to get everything out of the cab and get in the subway. The place is really close to the subway entry though which was a big positive. Al was accessible via email while we were there and we had no problems. Loved the authentic NY experience rather than staying in a hotel.

• Reviewer: Lori

  Comments: Great place. Neat and clean. Bed was really comfortable. Close to subway and bus.

• Reviewer: Angie

  Comments: We had a wonderful time at Mr Richman's...our son lives about a half mile away and it was so easy getting around. There are little markets and eateries within walking distance...check out Black Swan on Bedford, Nerodoro on Classon, and Clementine Bakery on Greene Ave. Access to the subway was a very short walk and we went every where. Mr Richman was easy to reach with any questions and his neighbors were the nicest!!

• Reviewer: Eric

  Comments: Let's try to leave a fair feed-back * On the bright side of Al's brownstone apartment : - It's a big apartment compared to the usual Manhattan standard - The neighborhood was friendly, and anything we need was actually at walking distance - We found the place quiet and lively at the same time - The queensize bed is really comfortable - Al is the invisible man but easy to reach via email - ... You're in New York * On the dark side of Al's brownstone apartment : - The equipment and facilities are below the average standard, and they're getting old, some are broken-down - The garden exists, but looks like a waste ground - The G line station is a few steps away (Bedford-Nostrand)... but the G line is far from being the best connection to Manhattan, Park Slope or Long Island (for instance). Many transfers are making every trip longer than expected. - If you like to cook at home ... you should aim to another place

• Reviewer: Steve

  Comments: L'appartement de Al es parfait. Dans un quartier de Brooklyn pas trop moche, des restaurant tout autour qui font memes livraisons a domicile si on se debrouille en anglais, le metro es lui a 2 minutes a pied et on se retrouve au centre de manathan en 45 minutes. L'appartemment es propre et bien aménagé, la literie de tres bonne qualité, le salon es très agréable et la cuisine équipé comme il faut, la salle de bain correcte et le petit jardin tres agréable. Nous n'avons jamais rencontré Al mais il reste disponible par mail sans soucis et son amis William aussi. Le wifi fonctionne parfaitement, on a a disposition un aspirateur et de quoi faire le ménage avant de laisser l'appartement ainsi qu'une table et un fer a repasser.

• Reviewer: Enne

  Comments: The Apartment is really nice located in a beautiful and quiet street, with several subway connections nearby. We had a nice stay although the cleaning Lady came One Hour early at 10am so we had To hurry in the end.

• Reviewer: Barbara

  Comments: Our 6 day stay at Al-RichHMAN's brownstone in Bed-Stuy was 100% positive. The accommodations were easily located (even during a blizzard at 10 pm)! close to some very good restaurants, and the subway. It was clean, quiet, warm, spacious and quite comfortable.

• Reviewer: William

  Comments: Everything was great.

• Reviewer: Niree

  Comments: Beautiful home and neighborhood. The neighbors were extremely nice and helpful. It was a great stay!

• Reviewer: Jose

  Comments: The place was lovely and spacious. If it wasn't for the rain , I would have enjoyed the garden in the back even more.

• Reviewer: Povl

  Comments: 10 days in beautiful NY in Al's apartment. The apartment was as described; spacious and clean. One has to bear in mind that it’s on the ground floor and therefore rather dark. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly and I can recommend “Alice’s”, a restaurant on Classon Ave close to Fulton St. R's Povl

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: A great stay!

• Reviewer: Odiaka

  Comments: Great place. Convenient check in process, place was very clean, great neighborhood and Ali provided all the information we needed and was timely. Will stay again next time I'm in Brooklyn.

• Reviewer: Brian

  Comments: In the beginning there was some difficulty contacting the host, but a neighbor gave us the correct contact information and all got sorted. Make sure you speak with the host before arriving. The neighborhood isn't the most vibrant, but the neighbors are nice and nights are relatively quiet. Considering the very fair price, I would probably stay again.

• Reviewer: Michaela

  Comments: It was a very good stay in New York City! The owner as well as the contact person are friendly and always there if you have any questions or needs - fast answers via Internet and although it was a late arrival we meet the contact person face-to-face when we arrived! We rent the apartment for only two people and had more than enough space. Bathroom, seperate bedroom with a queensize bed, big living room with 3 couches (one of them offers further possibility to sleep) and kitchen area. Everything as you can see on the photos! Fast wifi also available in the flat to stay in contact with family and friends at home. The neighborhood was ok as well. Nice place for everyone who wants to stay in Brooklyn! Would definitely recommend it! :-)

• Reviewer: Gael

  Comments: Logement conforme à notre attente. Très proche du métro et un supermarket à proximité pour faire quelques courses. Confort suffisant. Sympa la corbeil de fruits le jus d'orange et la café offert. Quartier sympa.

• Reviewer: Luke

  Comments: Hi, Al made sure we got to the flat ok. It was easy to find and enter. The flat is very nice, and there was fruit, milkshake, cofee, etc...We were slightly weary of the neighborhood as we arrived late and it was dark, but in reality it is very friendly and safe and it is middle of Brooklyn. We went to Manhattan everything day without trouble. We were two adults and two children, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the flat, the area and New York alltogether. Very good value

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: Al checked in with us to make sure we got to the place okay. There were complementary drinks and snacks which was nice. Location isn't the BEST but it's really not a big setback cause the subway is close. Dough is also close by which is a super doughnut shop. If you're looking to cook, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it here because the equipment is a little old and there is no vent for the smoke. Great place overall.

• Reviewer: Dennis

  Comments: It was a nice Apartment in a cool neighboorhood! All was great! Thank you al

• Reviewer: Katharina

  Comments: The apartment was totally fine for our three-nights-stay: clean, well equipped and beautiful. The location manager was nice and always available; he offered to help during day- and nighttime. But everything worked out perfectly, so we did not need any help. Subway was close, the neighborhood interesting. Convinient check-in and check-out processes We appreciated the mineral water and the fruit! We would prefer such an apartment anytime to a hotel/hostel. Thank you Al, we had a great time!

• Reviewer: Beatrice

  Comments: The apartment was beautiful and the neighborhood quiet and pretty. Al was a bit hard to get in touch with at first but the location manager William was nice and available.

• Reviewer: Danielle

  Comments: This was a clean apartment and was adequate for most needs. Equipped with most basics but unfortunately not a toaster. While we didn't meet the host, we appreciated the thoughtful items in the fridge and the up-to-date events listings that were left out for us.

• Reviewer: Jennifer

  Comments: Wonderful place to stay in Brooklyn. The neighborhood was quite at night which made sleeping easy. Couldn't be any closer to the subway G line. 20 minutes from Manhattan. Great doughnut shop and gastropub down the street and the host had doughnuts for us the first day (amazing)!! Al was accommodating, easy to keep in contact with, and quick to respond.

• Reviewer: Ann

  Comments: We didn't meet Al but this was no problem. He communicated by email and we had all the info we needed. Place was great - good location in a diverse interesting neighbourhood. Close to the g train so in and out to Manhattan was easy. Felt safe here even returning late at night. The apartment is very comfortable and quiet

• Reviewer: Mariano

  Comments: Al was super helpful from day 1, quickly replying my emails and giving me all the information I required. He also put me in contact with William, who lives upstairs, so I could reach him if I needed anything else. It's just one block from the G train (20 mins to Manhattan), and a 5 minutes walk from the C train, which makes the location perfect. The neighborhood is quiet but has a couple of cool places to eat or have a drink (Black Swan and Bombay Heights among my favs) The apartment is spacious, has good natural light and is fully equipped.

• Reviewer: Marlee

  Comments: Al's apartment worked out perfectly for hosting my early Thanksgiving dinner party. The apartment has a spacious, long rectangular living room with couches and a nice brick wall. The bedroom in the front was cozy and separated from the kitchen/bathroom by living room. Very ideal space for what I needed and convenient location, about a $20 cab from the city. Thanks Al!

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at Al's. We arrived on Thanksgiving day and instead of checking us in personally we were able to just use the keypad to let ourselves in. Safe, quiet Brooklyn neighborhood with easy access to the subway and lots of places to eat. The weather was freezing while we stayed there and we had no control over the temperature of the apartment. My only complaint was that it was a bit chilly!

• Reviewer: Ana

  Comments: O apartamento é ótimo e atendeu a todas as nossas expectativas. Viajei com meus pais, que dormiram no quarto, que era muito confortável, e eu dormi na sala sem nenhum problema, em um sofá-cama bastante confortável também. O apartamento é bem espaçoso e equipado. Al deixou uns snacks para nós, além de guias de Nova York e uma cartinha de boas vindas. Localização ótima também, a uma quadra do metrô. Muitas vezes voltei tarde da noite e não tive nenhum problema. Recomendo para todos.

• Reviewer: Symmi

  Comments: Al was fast in responding and with this being my first time using air BNB, he made it a seamless process. There was no unnecessary running around to meet anyone, in fact, I never did have to meet with anyone... he provided me with everything I needed and even left some fresh fruits, water, and orange juice for us! Highly recommend him and his place!

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: I felt so welcome at the brownstone. It was warm, cozy and quiet. I really felt at home. Thank you for the hospitality Al.

  Comments: We couldn't have enjoyed our stay at Al's place more. So handy for getting quickly and safely into Manhattan, and really cosy and comfortable. The heat and lamps were switched on for us ahead of our arrival! Al was easily contactable before arriving and Will was great while we were there! Really clean! A Brooklyn gem!

• Reviewer: Pilar

  Comments: Pasamos dos semanas muy agradables alojados en el apartamento de Al, era realmente como el anuncio lo describía, todo funcionaba a la perfección. Su ubicación estratégica lo hace aun mas confortable por la cercanía al subte que permite conectar con toda la ciudad, a la lavandería y al supermercado. Es de destacar la cordialidad y disposición del administrador local Sr. Williams. El barrio es adecuado tanto para adultos y pequeños. Es tranquilo, silencioso (sobre todo a la noche) y se muestra seguro. La gente es amigable.

• Reviewer: Marine

  Comments: Al responds quickly to the email. We have orange juice and some fruits when we arrive. It's a beautiful apartment, the neighborhood is good and the subway is very closed so it's perfect. we can find many small restaurants and shops all around.

  Comments: The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

• Reviewer: Ruoxi

  Comments: Al's apartment is fully furnished with most functions you would need from a place for short stay. The room smells a little because it is below ground level. But it is a very decent place with relative low price you can find in NY. Plus Al, and William, the manager, are very helpful and patient.

• Reviewer: Michele

  Comments: Host disponibile , gentile e ospitale. Appartamento spazioso, situato in zona tranquilla e vicino alla metropolitana, fornito di tutto il necessario nei diversi ambienti. Da migliorare: le sedie della cucina sono vecchie e un po' sporche; la biancheria è sistemata in modo disordinato e ci è sembrata non tutta pulita. il nostro soggiorno è stato gradevole. Consigliato.

  Comments: Great experience. Al is very good at responding and provided all necessary instructions for a pleasant stay. Everything was clean and even some refreshments were provided. No issues to report, but if there was, it was good to know that help was only a phone call away.

• Reviewer: Dan

  Comments: Excellent apartment in Bed-Stuy - close to subway, close to market, well equipped kitchen, clean. While we never meet Al or anyone in his behalf, all was taken care of - the information on how to get in, and where things are was all provided upfront, and was straight forward. Al was immediately available on email when we needed him. This is our third time we rented via airbnb in this area and we will definitely return if we have the opportunity. Highly recommended.

• Reviewer: Rainier

  Comments: The listing is extremely good. 1) It is the same as the pictures (feels bigger even) 2) It has a great location, to subway trains away to Manhattan, with the stop about three minutes away. The apartment has a kitchen very well equipped, with toasters, microwave, stove, frigde, plates, cups, forks, and basically anything you'd need.

• Reviewer: Tom

  Comments: Al was available to respond to questions prior to our arrival and William introduced himself and checked in with us on our second day (which was great). The street was beautiful as described and the neighbourhood was friendly and had what we needed; deli, laundry, bar, cafe and metro stop close by. The apartment was suitable for our needs and was good value.

• Reviewer: Shannon

  Comments: Al was very accommodating and was quick to fix the few "issues" we had with his apartment. All-in-all it was a very good renting experience.

• Reviewer: Erika

  Comments: We stayed at Al's three years ago for our wedding week. We returned three years later with our 2-year-old daughter. The place holds special memories and it is still as comfortable as ever. It's a perfect location, spacious, safe and located in a cool neighborhood. Thanks Al!

• Reviewer: Elise

  Comments: Great place, some cute stuff within walking distance, and close to the one of the train lines. Very flexible check-in. Nice touches including complimentary water, beer, orange juice, and fruit. I appreciated that they had a hair dryer, as well!

• Reviewer: Greg

  Comments: I arrived at the apartment at about 2am. When I made the booking I explained this to Al. He had given me a number to call when I was on my way from the airport. Despite a variety of attempts I could not get hold of Al so I made my way to the apartment. After noisy and determined attempts I managed to raise 'William' who was not expecting me! I explained that my husband, Greg, was the person who had made the booking in which he made it clear that that me ( his wife) would be travelling alone. I was not happy! A woman on her own, in a down at heel neighbourhood and not even expected! Eventually William let me in. Half an hour later Al emailed etc with details of how to get in. Not good.

• Reviewer: Cristal

  Comments: Coming to NYC for Fashion Week was hectic and honestly I made plans super last minute, but Al's place fell in my lap and my stay went wonderfully. Once I found everything I needed, my days here were smooth sailing. Thank you for the little treats. Much appreciated. And big Thank You to William for handling my little concerns early and efficiently.

• Reviewer: Cristal

  Comments: Due to booking last minute for Fashion Week, I was panicking about not booking my stay in NYC. Al really came through in the clutch. My stay at Al's place went great and check in was easy breezy. The complimentary juice, water and fruit was much appreciated. I love SmartWater, how did you know? :) The space was beyond perfect, I had enough room to set up my workstation, as I'm a nail artist and needed to size models while in NYC. The only issue I had was worked out promptly and efficiently, thanks to William the caretaker on site. Al's place seems to always be booked well in advance but when possible, I would love to stay again. Thanks, Al!

• Reviewer: Luca

  Comments: We spent 10 days at Clifton Pl during the month of September 2015. Al's flat is located in a great area in Brooklyn, full of small shops (groceries, supermarket, etc) as well as some nice bars and restaurants. It is close to the G subway line which will take you to Manhattan or Williamsburg in less than half an hour. The apartment was cosy, and in conformity with the pictures provided. We experienced a slow Internet connection sometimes but nothing serious. Communication with Al was really good before our arrival and he advised us pretty well about public transportation and some other stuff. But when we arrived at his flat, no indication to find the key has been provided. Hopefully, the situation quickly arranged. Despite this anecdote, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to pick Al's brownstone's flat, especially for a couple willing to experience a stay in Brooklyn rather than the "usual" NYC areas.

• Reviewer: Keely

  Comments: Lovely place. Clean and spacious and on a quiet street.

• Reviewer: Silvia

  Comments: We stayed at Al apartment for 20 days and that was great. Al is very accommodating and so helpful. He responded promptly and make sure everything is okay with us. The neighbourhood is safe and the location is perfect. It is just 5 mins walking to the metro station with plenty or cafe deli around. Would recommend Al's place! Thanks Al again for having us!

• Reviewer: Denise

  Comments: We stayed at Al's apartment over the Christmas holidays. Everything was perfect and as described in the listing. We had no issues at all and check in and check out was very simple and convenient. Al's representative stopped by to check on us, which was very nice. I would recommend this host very highly! Thank you Al and Will. Our stay was delightful!

• Reviewer: Lindsay

  Comments: This airbnb was clean, affordable and exactly as it is advertised. It's simple, no frills, and within walking distance to the subway. The location is recommended for people who are familiar with the area. For example, if you walk one direction, the neighborhood is relatively safe, if you walk in a different direction it's significantly less safe. Just a word of caution!

• Reviewer: Ryan

  Comments: This was a great experience to have while my group of friends and I stayed in Brooklyn for 10 days. Al was super communicative and I didn't have any issues with getting into the place. It was large enough to be comfortable and it was very clean. Would definitely recommend this place to potential travelers!

• Reviewer: Fred

  Comments: Everything was good. No complaints. It was clean. Bright. Well kept and well set up. And typically Brooklyn. Great neighborhood. Plenty of places to eat. There is a grocery store very close and the neighborhood is friendly and diverse. Close to Pratt and the trains to Manhattan and other destinations. Just jump on a train just a half a block away and for $2.75 and 30 minutes you are in Manhattan and can walk to MOMA and the Met and other places. We took the train from the airport. It was easy and cheap. You can walk to Fort Green Park, Prospect Park and even the Promenade if you have some good shoes. Williamsburg isn't that far either. Would definitely stay there again. Wish I could have stayed longer.

• Reviewer: Dana

Proche d'une entrée de métro, les déplacements vers Manhattan ou les environs étaient faciles. L'appartement correspondait aux photos, propre et bien équipé. J'espère pouvoir y revenir très bientôt!!

• Reviewer: Teit

  Comments: We had a great time at Al-'s. We were visiting NY for 5 days with a 9 year old and the apartment was the perfect base to roam after long days in the city. Whatever plans you have you have easy access to subway and buses. We crisscrossed Brooklyn - from Coney Island to B. Heights - to and from Manhattan and getting to and from Newark was easy. The neighborhood is nice with walking distance to deli's, grocery stores etc. Wish only we could have stayed longer.

• Reviewer: Carol

  Comments: Instructions of how to get in excellent, small problem with wifi sorted out very quickly by William who is a delightful guy and really helpful. We had a problem with ants coming in and again William couldn't do enough to help. Overall the accommodation is good, we chose to get a small kettle because one wasn't supplied and us Brits like tea and not just coffee. We have bequeathed the kettle to the next residents. Flat was very clean and comfy, a bit dark but then it is a basement flat and that is really to be expected. In the Bed Stu part of Brooklyn the flat is in an okay road, didn't feel unsafe, my best description that the area is an up and coming area that isn't quite up and coming yet. The subway G line is literally just around the corner which made getting into Manhatten very easy. If we had problems we just used (Hidden by Airbnb) to contact William and he was always willing to help. Overall the accommodation did what it said on the tin and was fine. AL got in touch to see that we had arrived and had no problems but it was the lovely William that we dealt with if we needed something. The kitchen utensils were adequate but for example we tried to cook pasta and there was no colander to drain the pasta. The cups provided were small cups for coffee. There were no mugs, we actually brought two so that we could have a hot drink. I would say that the kitchen is adequate but not more than that. This of course could be an American thing so I realise I might not be comparing like for like. This isn't a moan as such this is more of an observation. We booked a shuttle to take bring us to the flat from Newark Airport. Please be warned that Brooklyn from Newark Airport is not exactly cheap, nor is getting a yellow cab from Manhatten to Brooklyn. Going down to DUMBO and the Brooklyn Bridge is a must, the Manhatten Skyline from across the East River is just amazing. Overall it was a good stay and a good choice of flat to stay in. What would be good for the future would be to have a flat manual about the running of the flat, when the rubbish is collected, how the air con works, what channels are available on the tv. Where the best grocery stores are etc. Please note that it was my choice to get the kettle and the mugs, I didn't involve William or Al in the decision. I only mention it because some people might think it a disadvantage.

• Reviewer: Guy

  Comments: Came here for aweek long family vacation in the city. William (the location manager) and Al both made sure we have all that we need, and were very responsive and helpful. The apartment is clean, spacious and very pleasant to stay in. Very close to a subway station and about 40 minutes away from the touristy center of Manhattan. Thanks for a great stay!

• Reviewer: Natalie

  Comments: Loved this place! Al was also extremely helpful and communicative. Would definitely love to stay here again next time!

• Reviewer: Reid

  Comments: Easy to communicate with and flexible. The apt was clean and the fruit and oj was appreciated. I've noticed that NYC Airbnb's are often missing the new mini-soap and shampoo bottle, so that was a bummer as I didn't bring soap. It's not a luxury apt, but it did the job and had the location I wanted.

• Reviewer: Tahir Carl

  Comments: Very supportive and very kind. My Parents stayed here for 2 weeks and really enjoyed the place.

• Reviewer: Philippe

  Comments: We found the apartment spacious and well-kept as described. The bedroom has a full size bed and the kitchen was very well equipped. We didn't meet Al or William but Al was very quick in replying to our emails. Keep in mind that the apartment is in the basement, so if it will not have a lot of natural light. This was not a problem for us, but might be something to consider in advance.

  Comments: Al is a very nice and communicative host. The place was exactly as it was seen in the photos maybe slightly bigger. It is a 2-minute walk from the subway which makes it very convenient. There are very nice cafes and restaurants close by. Overall it is a very nice neighborhood. We were staying here while we were looking for an apartment, we loved the neighborhood and the building so much that we moved into the apartment upstairs!! I highly recommend it!

• Reviewer: Lara

  Comments: This place was wonderful! My friend and I stayed and we were there for 7 nights. So close to the subway so it's so easy to get around. Although I did not get to meet Al, he was easy to contact (via Air BnB app seemed most effective) - his father was incredibly kind. They are very accommodating, and will go out of their way to make sure your stay is a pleasant one :)

• Reviewer: Aditi

  Comments: Al was a great host, although we didn't get to see him during our stay, his friends looked out for us. They were always willing to help and took good care of us. We were also really impressed by Al's book collection. :) Would highly recommend Al's place!

• Reviewer: Heather

  Comments: My mom and I stayed at Al's place and we did enjoy the time there. Al was very attentive and communicative, especially when there was an issue with the place. He was also flexible with us for arrival and check-out which was great. There is a lot of noise that travels from upstairs so it did make it difficult to sleep a couple nights, but not an issue if you're not a sensitive sleeper. Other than that the place looks great, is comfortable, accessible and was just a tiny bit musty because it's so humid right now. You can tell that Al really cares about his place and guests and that means a lot to me - I'm happy we got to meet in person.

• Reviewer: Lida

  Comments: The apartment is very nice; clean, well furnished, convenient location with a lot of food/coffee options around and easy metro access. As said by previous guests the house is quite noisy, but nothing more that everyday life noises such as kids running upstairs and occasional car noises from the road. The apartment was quite cold but I think it was just the wrong time of the year because NY was in general quite chilly.

• Reviewer: Sabine

  Comments: Das Appartment liegt in Brooklyn in einer relativ ruhigen Seitenstraße, die nächste Metrostation ist nicht weit. Supermarkt ist fußläufig zu erreichen. In etwa 40 Minuten ist man mit einem Umstieg in Manhattan. Al selbst war nicht im Lande, hatte aber seinen sehr hilfsbereiten und freundlichen Vater als Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Leider ist das vorhandene Schlafsofa beim besten Willen nicht nutzbar. Daher ist eine Belegung mit maximal 3 Personen (einer kann dann auf dem nicht ausgezogenen Sofa schlafen) möglich. Auch die sonstige Ausstattung ist sehr einfach und in die Jahre gekommen, vor allem das Badezimmer, die Warmwasserversorgung war aber einwandfrei. Man arrangiert sich ja irgendwie. Als die Toilette mehrmals verstopft war, bekamen wir sehr nette Hilfe von Als Vater; als die Wasserleitung dann eingefroren war, mussten wir uns mit einem Eimer behelfen. Okay, da ist man machtlos. Fazit: Wer Komfort erwartet ist hier falsch. Wer eine einfache, für New Yorker Verhältnisse preiswerte Unterkunft sucht und keine hohen Ansprüche stellt, kann hier buchen. Insgesamt hatten wir eine gute Zeit in New York.

• Reviewer: Allyson

  Comments: HUGE place in Brooklyn. Maybe not the prettiest neighborhood, but it was safe and super close to the subway. Easy access anywhere we wanted to go. Check in: Our plane schedule was all over the place, and we had a tight window of time to get from JFK to the the AirBNB back to the US Open. Al was completely understanding and rolled with all the updates. Keypad worked, and we were able to accomplish it all and not be late! So grateful for a host that can understand the insanity of travel plans and be accommodating. Space: Huge ground floor of a brownstone. I don't think the pictures really convey how large this space is. Cute, tucked away bed in almost a sun room of sorts was perfect for sleeping. The huge living room and dining room really made it feel like a home instead of some studios we've stayed at. We could lounge on the couches, or eat at the dining table. AC worked well and also worked as white noise for sleeping. Bathroom is kind of an awkward shape, but totally manageable and worked fine. Hospitality: We were already thrilled at the flexibility for check-in, but were also greeted with refreshments and a sign that let us know all the important info for the place. We had trouble with the wifi, and the response time was quick.

  Comments: Great place in a nice and quiet street. Al's dad is very nice and kind. First two nights were quiet, but after that the family with 1 little kid returned from a 6 months trip. In a house with wooden floors this really has in influence, esp. btwn 6-8 am. If you're a light sleeper (like my girlfriend) I'd recommend to inform first if the family is around or not.
