Sam's place was great. We loved the neighbourhood. Some great bars are just up the street and the subway is a short walk away. We never met Sam but he was easy to communicate with. Amazingly decorated and spacious apartment that felt like home. My only wish would have been that the place was a little cleaner but otherwise no other complaints.
Jun 27, 2019A beautiful apartment with incredible attention to detail and excellent style! We loved staying at Sam's apartment. The location is great with tons of cool bars nearby, the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Pk, and all the subway lines you could ever need. The kitchen is spacious with a great induction stove, and the main room is great for small gatherings with drinks. Lots of sunlight throughout. Very comfortable beds and the balcony overlooking the garden was really lovely. Everything from the spices, kitchen ware, towels and basic food items were well-stocked! Good central speakers in the kitchen for playing music. Sam was very communicative, accommodating and a very solid host! We'd love to stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019Our stay in Sam's place was really nice! We never met Sam but he was always available to answer our questions during booking. A friend of his welcome us when we got there. She was very helpful with us, give us some cool places to go around. Electric problems did not allow us to use some heaters, so the temperature was a little cold, mostly for the person who slept in the lounge. We felt secure in the streets and you have to walk like 5 minutes to take the train that lead you on manhattan. Good place to stay! Thanks!
Jun 27, 2019Sam's space is really stylish. He's clearly put a lot of work into making it a unique and classy home. We were travelling with our one-year-old toddler which presented some challenges, and I would not recommend this apartment to someone else travelling with a small child who might throw food on the rug, eat off the painted plywood floors, and pull things off shelves. We were able to make it work, and Sam was very helpful answering our questions. If you're young at heart, hip and excited to explore gritty Brooklyn, this place is ideal.
Jun 27, 2019Sam was a great host and my family loved living in his beautiful apartment. The apartment has great light, a comfortable living space and a very tasteful decor, right from the coffee table to the chandelier in the bathroom. The kitchen is spacious for those who want to cook their meals. The area is great and has some wonderful restaurants and bars and really charming to walk around in. Unfortunately, we left a little bit of mess when we checked out, which probably means that we won't get to stay in this wonderful apartment again, but for those of you who can, you absolutely must.
Jun 27, 2019Pour un voyage d'affaire, un de mes équipiers a séjourné chez Sam. Très agréable, quartier sympathique. Un appartement clair et un hôte prévenant ! Thomas était vraiment content de son séjour !
Jun 27, 2019The neighborhood is an interesting one, with many places to get grocery or to eat at, and Sam was of good advice. The flat is nice, we had breakfast on the balcony every morning. It is very easy to go to downtown with either the C or 5 line, or to Conney Island the other direction.
Jun 27, 2019We really enjoyed our stay at Sam's bright stylish apartment and enjoyed the colorful neighborhood. Sam was also very helpful and responsive with communication.
Jul 27, 2019Sam was a great host and his apartment was so comfy and enjoyable (very nice garden)! He left addresses of great places to go, plans of the neighborhood, etc. The neighborhood is amazing, lots of nice bars, very good restaurants and most important, nearby lots of trains station. We definitely enjoyed our stay thanks to Sam's apartment! Merci beaucoup Sam!!
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is exactly as described…. Super super sunny! Maybe a little shade is the bedrooms will help in the morning! Sam was very easy to communicate with and we never ran in any problem.

Jun 27, 2019Sam's apartment was a great place to return to every evening after adventuring across New York with kids. It's pretty much exactly the same as it's described in the listing, and the kitchen has a great induction stove. The aircon was invaluable as we stay during some of the hottest and most humid days in recent history. We felt secure and private at Sam's and would highly recommend it for singles, couples or small families. Franklin Ave is the main shopping strip plenty of good grocery shopping, a decent coffee spot 7 mins walk away, a cool pizza restaurant, laundromats, and wine shops. The subway is close enough walking distance. (I found Uber a fairly easy alternative for one-off transports in and out of Manhattan.) Both subway stations within walking distance take you to Brookyn and through Manhattan easy enough. All up a great stay.
Jun 27, 2019Sam's place is perfectly designed. Sunny, stylish, open, this was a fantastic apartment to relax in amidst the chaos of our weekend in NY.
Jun 27, 2019Exactly as described. Very clean and comfortable. Extremely covenient. Excellent communication. Great kitchen. Would definetly book w Sam again.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, a few blocks away from the subway. (About a 10 minute walk.) lots of restaurants in the area, delis on the corners. If you’re sleeping 4 two people can sleep on the couches and two in each bedrooms (or whatever). There is no pull out. I’d recommend shower shoes as the rug in bathroom is small and thin. There’s a cool projector , and Bose speaker for music. Overall the place was nice and aesthetically pleasing, and Sam was quick to respond when we had questions.
Jun 27, 2019It’s a really nice place.
