Neighborhood Overview

Lefferts Gardens is a diverse, up and coming neighborhood on the southeast end of Prospect Park. Our home is a three-minute walk from the park as well as the metro line. We are excited to be a ten minute walk away from the newly renovated Kings Theater in Flatbush. The area also boasts historic churches and unique culture. We are less than twenty minutes from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and the Brooklyn Museum. Brighton Beach is only 25 minutes away. There are a variety of delicious bars and restaurants within walking distance of our home. Additional, Park Slope and Prospect Heights is just a short ride or walk away.

Notes

Please note that check out time is 11:00 am unless special arrangements are made. Street parking is available on our street as well as the surrounding blocks. Please read parking signs carefully. There is also a parking lot you can pay to use just one block away. -------- FAQ Does your place have a curfew or quiet hours? In one word: No. NYC never stops and you don’t have to either. Regardless of whether you plan to get up early to explore or spend your nights out late, you can come and go as you please. You will have your own key to the building and our apartment. We are heavy sleepers so don’t worry about waking us. As musicians, we hold odd hours and we truly don’t care when you choose to come and go. Is your neighborhood safe? Yes! This is one of our most frequently asked questions. As a woman, I feel perfectly safe walking around at all hours even by myself. Remember NYC is a busy city so it is normal to see people out 24 hours a day. There is a very active police force

Transit

The apartment is a 3 minute walk to the Parkside Station (Q train) and a 5 minute walk to the Church Ave Station (B and Q train). You are 3 stops away from Atlantic Ave/Barclay Center where you can connect to the B, D, N, R, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Manhattan is a mere 20 minute ride away. Within 35 minutes you can be at Union Square, Times Square, or Penn Station. The apartment is easily reachable from both JFK and LaGuardia. Using public transit, you can be at either within 70-80 minutes.

Access

Access to kitchen/living, bathroom, and wifi. We hope you'll take advantage of the close proximity to the park as well!

    Wonderful musicians. Incredibly fun to talk to and the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of staying with.

    I felt very welcome. House is very conveniently located to public transit.

  • Eddie

    First I have to say a big thanks to Jayanthi! Her place was really great, very clean and calm. I was really sick when I got to her place and from very beginning I felt really comfortable and slept so long. Although I was sick I had a good conversation with her, she's very warm and kind. Near public transport and very nice neighbourhood. Highly recommend this place. Thanks again ;)

  • Nicole

    Jayanthi was a welcoming host, her and boyfriend were friendly and happy to give suggestions whenever we asked for them. She was accommodating even when we got lost and didn't arrive when we had planned. The air mattress is one of the nicest I've ever seen.

  • Shruti

    Jayanthi & Akash are wonderful hosts! They were warm, helpful & so much fun to talk to. If I had more time I would've loved to spend more time talking to them about their music & travel experiences. Their place is very close to Prospect Park & Parkside subway station. (The Q train goes directly to some prime spots in Brooklyn & Manhattan). There are also some nice shops & eateries around the area. Overall, I'm glad I found their place & I felt very welcome & comfortable staying here. :)

    Stay here was nice. The room is small, but pretty and clean. The house is comfortable in a funny neighborhood, close to Prospect Park and the metro. Jayanthi is a good host, she can help you with wathever you need. Good choice! Soggiorno consigliato in questa casa confortevole a Brooklyn. Jayanthi é molto gentile e sempre disponibile, la stanza é piccola ma carina e la casa si trova accanto al bellissimo Prospect Park e a pochi passi dalla metro.

  • Katya

    My husband stayed there with his friend and this is what he reports: Jayanthi was a very caring host and the apartment was impeccable. The host was also very tolerant with our late night outings - we wanted to explore the city as much as we possibly could, which meant coming back to the apartment after midnight. This bedroom is a great find for budget minded travelers who practically just need to sleep overnight and be out and about at other times. It does have an inflatable bed, but we didn't mind it at all.

    The best host I have ever met. I felt like I was at home. Everything was perfect!

  • Daniel

    I stayed here for 2 nights and it was great. Jayanthi & Akash are very welcoming and helping hosts. I can definitely recommend staying there, if you are looking for a nice room.

    I stayed for one week with my boyfriend at Jahanthi's place. It's a clean place and we had all the comfort we need even if the room seems small. Jayanthi and Aakash are very kind hosts, they did everything to make us comfortable, and respected our privacy. Mon compagnon et moi sommes restés une semaine chez Jahanthi. Nous avons eu tout le confort possible dans cet appartement bien entretenu, et cela même si la chambre semble petite. Jayanthi et Aakash sont très sympathiques, ils ont tout fait pour nous mettre à l'aise et respecter notre intimité.

  • Danilo

    Jayanthi and Aakash were great hosts. Both Jayanthi and Aakash were great communicators and very friendly with my nephew Akyro. They shared tips about the neighborhood and helped Akyro to buy the metrocard. Public transportation oriented location and neat apartment. I totally recommend staying here.

    Jayanthi's apartment was very clean and welcoming. It is just as described. It was a close 5 min walk to the Metro. Perfect place for a quick stay in the city.

  • Mahmut

    For location; it is really 3 min. easy walk to flat from Parkside Ave. of Q line. 5-6 stops to Manhattan! Recommended! For hosts; Jayanthi and Aakash are very friendly, very clean and very helpful. Real artists :) For the room; clean, well-decorated, enough for a quick stay.

  • Efim

    Jayanthi and Aakash are great hosts, friendly and welcoming. We felt very comfortable during our stay with them. The room is fine, and the bathroom with a hand shower was an advantage for us as we're used to them. Everything is exactly as show on the pictures. The location is perfect, literally 3-4 minutes from the metro, it takes about half an hour to get to Times Sq via Q-trains, and they are available all night long, although at really late night, it requires somewhat long waiting - probably, up to half an hour.

    Jayanthi was a great host. Reactive and open mind. Even if I arrived quite late, she was available

    Jayanthi was a great host friendly and happy to answer any questions. The apartment was close to the subway and easy to find. I would happily stay there again

    Jayanthi and Aakash were wonderful hosts! They were down to earth, interesting, and very hospitable. The room was perfect-very clean house. Perfect location for easy access to transportation and enjoying time in Prospect Park! I would most definitely stay with them again!

    Wir waren das erste mal mit Airbnb unterwegs und hätten es uns schöner nicht wünschen können. Jayanthi und ihr Freund waren bereits m Vorfeld sehr hilfsbereit und haben uns dann auch ganz lieb Empfangen. Alles war sehr ordentlich und gemütlich. Während des Aufenthalts haben wir uns nicht allzu oft gesehen, da wir oft lange unterwegs waren und die beiden arbeiten, dennoch lief alles ganz unkompliziert. Wir würden sofort wieder bei Jayanthi buchen. Klare Empfehlung. It has been our first time with Airbnb and it was really awesome. Jayanthi and her boyfriend where very helpful and supportive from the beginning on. When we arrived we felt welcomed right away, the room was comfortable and beautiful. Thanks to them we had an awesome NYC experience. Grüße aus Deutschland.

  • Lorna

    Anthony and I only stayed one night and couldn't have asked for better hosts! Place was lovely, comfy and the Jayanthi and Aakash were/ are absolutely awesome people. We had a great night, thank you! :)

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Jan & Monika

    Really happy with my (Jan's) stay! The room is very nicely renovated, the bed is comfortable and the place is even closer to the subway than it looks on a map. Jayanthi and Aakash are amazing hosts and great to talk to as well, I wish we'd had more time to chat. You're guaranteed to feel at home the moment you walk through the door. We might just have found our go-to Airbnb in New York City.

    Wonderful stay. Clean and comfortable place, kind hosts and great location. Would highly recommend!

  • Swathi

    We had an amazing time at New York because of the stay. Our hosts were extremely coopertive and friendly. They have maintained their house very well. We had access to their place anytime we wanted. The neighborhood is decent and safe. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

    Five stars! Jayanthi + Akash were awesome hosts, very helpful with recommendations. Accommodations were very clean and located conveniently. Will definitely stay with them again if I am every in town!

    Jayanthi was a wonderful host. Her apartment was clean and uncomfortable. I felt perfectly at home.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Andres

    It was good for the price, Jayanthi was a great host. Bed was a pullout couch, and you could feel the slats, but not too bad. In the middle of the night the radiator would make incredibly loud sounds, so we woke up a few times.

  • Jud

    Jayanthi and Aakash made us feel very welcome in their home. They greeted us warmly and offered tea and coffee. They were very easy to talk with and had some good conversations while we were there. But they also gave us our space and privacy as well. They are great hosts. The room is a small, but cozy and inviting space and is exactly as pictured on their listing page. We enjoyed ourselves at their place and would absolutely come back again.

    Jayanthi made us feel so much at home that I can't say enough great things about her & her boyfriend Aakash! It's just been a tremendous experience!

  • Alec

    Jayanthi (and Aakash) made me feel welcome right away. I contacted her beforehand for directions, and she was very helpful. I arrived on the subway (Q and B are very close), and the apartment is located just a few minutes walk away from the station! Very convenient! There is also a grocery store very close by. Jayanthi also provided me with some information about things to do and see all around the city; especially some great music shows happening in town. The apartment is in a secluded corner of the neighborhood, and the apartment is quiet at night so I slept well during my stay. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was perfect. The location is great for access to Prospect Park and I thoroughly enjoyed spending some time relaxing there during the day. I would recommend staying here if you're in Brooklyn for it's good location next to transport and Prospect Park, but more importantly, for the welcoming hosts!

  • Natalie

    Jayanthi & Aakash were great hosts. Felt very welcome and they were very helpful with any questions I had during my stay. Great food and music recommends! The train is a 2 minute walk and right across from Prospect Park. Very convenient and local. I highly recommend. Thanks guys! You made my first week and a half in New York much easier!

  • Shantha

    Jayanthi and Aakash were such a pleasure to stay with. They both made me feel welcome and are really interesting people. I enjoyed our talks and didn't even mind being severely defeated at board games! Their home is really close to the subway and is extremely comfortable. It's nearly as welcoming as they are! I can't wait to come visit them again - oh and NYC isn't bad either!

  • Kyle

    This was my first time using AirBNB and I could not say more great things about the experience. Aakash and Jayanthi were gracious, accommodating, and warm hosts and they offered much information about places to visit and eat in the neighborhood as well as valuable insight to someone that might be moving to the area soon. The place was exactly as described and pictured. I would highly recommend and would definitely be a repeat visitor in the future if the opportunity arises.

    Jun 27, 2019

    Jayanthi and Aakash are great hosts. Very friendly and they have a very nice and clean space nearby a subway station. I would contact them again for future visits to New York

  • Ganavya

    Jayanthi and Aakaash are perfect hosts! Room (and hosts) are very warm; location is well situated in Brooklyn. If you're a musician (or jazz aficionado), I highly recommend staying with them-- Aakash is a saxophonist and Jayanthi a pianist. Also, if cooking is your thing, you'll love having conversations with them. I booked it for my bassist who came in from Spain for a few days. Really grateful A and J are doing this, felt very worry-free that my bassist was in their hands. Artist-friendly, lgbqt+ friendly... generally, they're very lovable and friendly people.

    Die Unterkunft war als Ausgangspunkt für unsere New York Besichtigungen optimal. Mit der Q Linie welche nur eine Straße entfernt ist,kommt man sehr gut hin und zurück (Alternativ B Linie ca. 3 Straßen entfernt). Mittelgroße und kleine Lebensmittel Geschäfte sind genau wie diverse Imbisse(subway...) in der nächsten Straße vorhanden. Auch wenn es auf den ersten Blick anders scheint, ist die Gegend sehr sicher (haben täglich fast 10 Polizei Patrouillen gesehen) Bis Mitternacht hatten wir keine Probleme und später waren wir nicht unterwegs. Von JFK mit dem Taxi haben wir 40 Dollar bezahlt. Mit der Subway ginge es auch recht gut aber unser Flug hatte 9 Stunden Verspätung daher hatten wir keine Lust darauf ( Nochmals danke für den problemlosen Late Check in). Das Zimmer ist nicht sehr groß, aber zum schlafen völlig ausreichend (man fährt ja nach New York für sightseeing und nicht zum Zimmer sitzen) Die Sauberkeit der Wohnung war sehr gut und zu den Straßen und Häusern muss man sagen,tjadas ist New York. Falls wir nochmal einen Trip nach New York Unternehmen sollten, würden wir wenn möglich die gleiche Unterkunft und die gleichen Gastgeber wählen.

    This room is really calm and close to the train station next to prospect park (5min). We even had good interesting conversations and they gave me some good advises of amazing places of the city. The flat is located in Brooklyn near lovely prospect park. It takes your 25min to Manhatten or 25min to brighton beach in the opposite direction. I enjoyed the time at that place very much. Thanks to Jayanthi and Aakash.

  • Riccardo

    Very nice room, there is enough space for 2 ppl and everything is clan, the flat is close to the Q undergound station that is one of the most important lines. I suggest this room to everyone wants a quite and safe holiday in NY. Thankyou Jayanthi!

    Jayanthi was such a great host. She offered to help bring me and my guest to her place. Bed was really comfortable and more than enough blankets were provided. Thank you for having us Jayanthi.

    My stay at Jayanthi's and Aakash's place was great. I honestly was barely there, because I was very busy but the little bit of time I did spend at the apartment was solid. The place is clean and homie, there is a great kitchen and Jayanthi was so gracious to let me use whatever I wanted and even offered for me to enjoy some of the drinks they had in the fridge whenever I pleased. Jayanthi was so laid back and friendly and yet very respectful of my privacy and space. The apartment, just like the room, are pretty small but cozy and comfortable. If you are looking to spend lots of time at an apartment or want to have a romantic vacation stay and dont mind spending a little more for a bigger more open room, then this might not be the place for you... BUT, if you plan on being in and out and mostly want to go out to the city, explore and visit new york AND have a homie beautiful space to lay your head, take a lovely shower, be able to cook some home made food and relax at the end of the without breaking the bank or worrying about what time you come back home without having go answer to anyone, then this place, then Jayanthi's IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR YOU! The place might seem a little far from the action, but it is soooo close to the Q subway (and a few other ones) which take you directly into thr heart of Manhattan in less than 20 min. The neighbourhood has lots of jamaican and carribean residents and can seem a little grungy, but I definitely felt safe walking around and during the day it is lovely to explore the area, check out some unique food and cultures. Awesome stay!!! Good value! Lovely hosts!

    Me and my boyfriend stayed at the Jayanthi and Aakash apartment for our first trip in New York. We stayed very well. In reality we left the house in the morning and de came back late in the evening but when we met the guys were always helpful and sweet. The room is a bit small as read by reviews but clean. The Q underground, which leads to Manhattan, is very close only a few minutes from the apartment. If we will do a trip to new york we will go to them again  :-)

    Jayanthi's place is perfectly located and very clean with everything we need. As we walked up the street to the address, we smelled some incredible food... it turned out to be coming from their apartment! It's definitely been our favorite Airbnb in Brooklyn so far! The neighborhood is fun, unique, and full of great culture and great food. It's a convenient 5 minute walk to the subway, and prospect Park is right around the corner. It was close enough to many fun bars and restaurants, yet quiet enough in the room to sleep through the night with the window open. Street parking was easy and safe in the neighborhood, just make sure to read the signs. Jayanthi and Aakash are great hosts! Very respectful, helpful and easy to get ahold of. We spent most of our time out and exploring, but it would have been nice to have the time to hang out with them. We would love to stay here again!

    Excelente lugar! La atención por parte de los anfitriones fue buenísima, muy atentos en todo momento y dispuestos a ayudarnos. Limpieza muy buena, el lugar es muy acogedor y te hace sentir en casa.

    Jayanthi and Aakash are great hosts. Super friendly and easy going. The apartment is comfortable and clean, close to subway Q which is a road away and subway B which is 4 min walk(20-25min to Manhattan). Close to bus stops, loads of deli stores and eating joints. I felt safe in the neighbourhood. They were thoughtful and provided umbrellas, towels and let us use the kitchen. I loved the place and this would be my choice if I visited NYC again.
