Host was very communicative and informative. The place was great, really neat and cool. The neighborhood was a lovely little pocket in Brooklyn.
Jun 27, 2019The accommodation was perfect: conveniently located, clean, spacious and even with a far view of the skyline! Ute was very kind and helpful throughout the process.
Jun 27, 2019Ute was very warm and made the whole process very easy. The apartment was exactly as described, clean, and cozy. I had a wonderful trip!! Loved the space and the neighborhood.
Jun 27, 2019Ute kindly offered me a bigger place. It is is rare to find such a lovely big place in the heart of New York. It has an artistic touch and I just loved it! The host was also very kind and helpful offering us maps and all we needed.
Jun 27, 2019This could not have been a better experience. Ute was a perfect host and made the experience super easy. Everything worked and all the ins and outs of staying there were succinctly explained. The loft is exactly as pictured and is a wonderful place to stay. It didn't take very long for it to feel like a home away from home and I will be recommending it to anyone I know visiting NYC and especially Brooklyn. The neighborhood is cozy and a short walk/train to just about anywhere you'd want to go without being loud at night.
Jun 27, 2019Esperienza assolutamente positiva. L'appartamento era pulito ed ordinato. C'è tutto ciò di cui uno ha bisogno. La comunicazione con Ute è stata perfetta. Piacevole scoperta il quartiere dove si trova, c'è davvero tutto. A pochi isolati di distanza c'è la metro, il supermercato aperto 24 ore su 24, il parco con i giochi per i bambini.
Jun 27, 2019Ute's boyfriend was welcoming and was there to show us around. I met Ute on the street just before we left and we had a friendly conversation. The neighborhood was great -- one of Ute's neighbors helped us and told us everyone on the block knew one another and were friendly. The apartment was spacious and clean. It was near our son's apartment in Cobble Hill.
Jun 27, 2019Het appartement was erg prettig, ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. We vonden het best fijn om niet midden in Manhatten te verblijven, om zo ook wat meer van Brooklyn mee te maken en toch ook wat rustiger te kunnen slapen. Het contact met Ute verliep erg soepel. De buurt voelde erg veilig aan. De metro is erg dichtbij.
Jun 27, 2019El apto.luce como en la foto. Las camas son cómodas, con sábanas y almohadas suaves.Está agradablemente decorado. Tiene la cocina bien equipada como para preparar alimentos básicos.El baño espacioso y tiene agua caliente. El vecindario es tranquilo.Nos sentiamos seguras. Lo haría perfecto unas cortinas en las ventanas y un pequeño microondas. Ute fue muy amable y prudente. Lo recomiendo!
Jun 27, 2019El departamento es igual que en las fotos. Muy bonito y cómodo. Ute es muy preocupada por todo. Nos hizo sentir acompañados. El lugar está cercano a una avenida importante con metro. Tiene muchos lugares para comer, tomar un trago, escuchar jazz, etc. Caminando se puede conocer otros barrios de Brooklyn, con historia. Tiene un gran parque cerca.
Jun 27, 2019Ute's loft was just as described and shown in the pictures - and we really loved staying there! She welcomed us as soon as we arrived at her place. It was easy to comminucate with her during the whole stay. The neighborhood is pretty cool with a lot of graffiti art, vintage stores & lovely restaurants. Getting to Manhattan with the subway is no big deal - just at night (after partying for example) it's a bit more difficult, because the subway runs a bit irregular. So taking a taxi, uber or lift is a lot more convenient at that time.
Jun 27, 2019What a great apartment, and what great people! I arrived in a downpour, walking about 10 blocks from a friend's place -- Joel was patient while I waited out the worst of the storm, and then met me at the corner with an extra umbrella. The apartment is just about the Brooklyn-est place in the world -- the cold concrete floors were a) much appreciated in a heatwave, and b) covered with area rugs, which made everything feel warm and homey. And the A/C worked astoundingly well. You can't beat the location (super close to the R train and practically next door to Ample Hills ice cream!)... I can't imagine why anyone WOULDN'T want to stay here.
Jun 27, 2019Tout etait niquel proche du metro qui emmene directement à manhatan
Jun 27, 2019A nice apartment. It is clean and comfortable. Be aware that you must climb two long flights of stairs, but being in New York is a good workout in itself. Joel promptly answered any texts we sent asking about directions. Look around this neighborhood. Lots of good places to eat. Right around the corner is Runner and Stone for your breakfast. Don't miss it. Nice view of the city.
Jun 27, 2019Todo fue perfecto, Ute es un gran anfitrión, siempre estuvo en contacto con nosotros. El departamento es muy lindo y es tal cual aparece en la foto. Esta a unas 3 cuadras del subte de la línea R que va muy rápido a Manhattan. Esta a 3 cuadras de la 5th llena de lugares para comer. También está a la vuelta de un restaurante que se llama Dino en donde comimos muy rico.
Jun 27, 2019It was our first time using Airbnb. Ute was a wonderful host. She was always helpful and responded very quickly. The location is nice and close to metro stations (F and R Line).
Jun 27, 2019Ute was great! Very communicative and helpful. The neighborhood was friendly, we all felt very safe, and the apartment was really adorable. Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019Ute's place is in a fantastic location. There are tons of restaurants and attractions within walking distance, and everything else is a short uber ride away. The apartment is exactly as pictured: clean, spacious and furnished with all of the basics. The bed is really firm so if you like something softer, I recommend ordering a memory foam topper or something through Amazon (which is what I did). Communication was quick and easy. The street parking is available but not necessarily easy. You may have to park a few blocks away depending on the time of day. All in all, Ute's place is a great value in Brooklyn!
Jun 27, 2019Great Brooklyn stay at Ute's cozy apartment. Ute was very friendly and communicative. Well-designed and comfortable space. Convenient Brooklyn location. Simply a nice stay!
Jun 27, 2019A great space in a great location. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and full of lovely little touches that created a sense of warmth and welcome. Ute was there to great us when we arrived, and made check-out very easy.
Jun 27, 2019We really enjoyed our stay. The apt. is decorated very tastefully and we loved our time there. Our hosts were flexible and met us when we arrived. We want to come back and appreciated the warmth of the place.
Jun 27, 2019Ute is a great host, very responsive; the loft is nice and cozy, it's well equipped, and it's in a nice and well connected location, great if you want to spend time in Brooklyn.
Jun 27, 2019We spent a week at Ute's appartment and really enjoyed it. The appartment is cozy and has all the amenities you would normally need. Ute was a responsive host and provided us with good directions to the appartment. Once we got there, Ute's boyfriend Joel gave us the keys and some tips and info about the neighborhood and we were all set. Ute and Joel live next door so if you need any info etc. they are there to help. The neighborhood is very interesting with lots of new restaurants around. Definitely way different than busy Manhattan full of tourists. If you are looking for a good place to explore Brooklyn, this is it.
Jun 27, 2019Ute was so kind and communicative enough. The apt profile was full of details about surroundings to visit (sadly we couldn't visit her shop ;( ) . You have everything you need to stay totally comfortable on your visit. Absolutely recommended.
Jun 27, 2019This is a fabulous location. Great restaurants, shops, scenery in the neighborhood!!! The apartment is spacious for 2 people, possibly a family with small children. Great views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Family friendly. Close to subway (2 blocks, 5 minute walk). Ute is an awesome host. Definitely will stay again!! Stayed in 5 different Airbnb's in Brooklyn in the last 4 years, this was by far the best.
Jun 27, 2019Without a doubt, this has been one of my most favorite places I've stayed for a vacation. It was lovely, beautiful, simple, looked just like the photos, and is perfect for a solo traveler (as I was), or for a couple. It truly felt like a home-away-from-home. Don't be fooled by the industrial look of the area—I felt safe during my whole stay. I loved how it felt like a hidden home. The location was convenient to the subway, markets, restaurants, and parks. Ute was very kind, relaxed, and welcoming. I can't express enough how much I enjoyed my time in her home and am so glad that this Airbnb was where I stayed for my first visit to NYC and Brooklyn. For as long as she will offer this place as an Airbnb, this will be my #1 lodging choice for the area! Definitely would stay here again, in a heartbeat!
Jun 27, 2019Lovely space and very gracious host. Worked well for my baby and I and was within walking distance to park slope.
Jun 27, 2019The appartement is perfectly located in Brooklyn close to the subway station to go to Manhattan and the airport. It was clean and everything we needed was available. A welcoming host and the arrangement for the keys went fluently. We definitely recommend this place.
Jun 27, 2019This is a great location in an industrial/ post-industrial up and coming artists loft neighborhood where Gowanus meets Carroll Gardens. It was a perfect 5 minute walk to where I was working, and a short distance from many delightful Brooklyn neighborhoods, restaurants, shops, etc. It was quiet, private and roomy, with great light and gorgeous views of the Brooklyn skyline. Also, I was very warm and comfortable, nice new mattress, great shower, and most of the desired amenities..., including a DVD player with a nice selection, area rugs, a comfortable bed (firm new mattress) Ute is lovely, don't miss her "Gowanus Souvenir Shop" around the corner.
Jun 27, 2019Great apartment - just as described in advert. Ute was a great host throughout the booking and stay. She went above and beyond when we were stuck in New York due to cancelled flights making sure we were okay. Thank you!
Jun 27, 2019Lovely apartment in an unassuming building in a super cool area of Brooklyn. We loved wandering around the local area for drinks, food and shopping, and a pretty easy walk to Brooklyn Heights/DUMBO and across the Brooklyn bridge to Manhattan. Make sure to head up to Prospect Park too.
Jun 27, 2019Ute's place was just as advertised. It is in an unusual neighborhood that is transitioning from industrial to upscale. However, it is within walking distance of lots of good things (including where our daughter and her family live). We would stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019Het verblijf is op zich prima. Alles wat nodig is is aanwezig. Locatie is nogal industrieel maar voelt veilig aan. Openbaar vervoer is prima beloopbaar
Jun 27, 2019This Brooklyn space was perfect for us. A short 2 block walk to the R train into Manhatten and close to many restaurants and bars to choose from. We especially liked the Vintage clothing store down street (great bargains)
Jun 27, 2019Very light and spacious, comfortable place to stay. Many shops, restaurants, bars in easy walking distance, and close to subway. Ute was flexible about checking in and out. I would stay again.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is very comfortable and cozy. It has everything you need for a great stay. You really feel at home here. The wifi connection is excelent. Ute lives next door and although you don't see her much, she is easily reachable. The surrondings are also great for exploring Brooklyn. Plus, it's also well connected to Manhattan with many subway lines not far from the appartment. The area has a lot to offer and the apartment has great views from Brooklyn's downtown. We will repeat our stay here if we ever come back to New York. Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay at Ute's apartment! She was very accommodating to our check in & out schedule. The apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious, and had all we could ever need! We enjoyed checking out local cafes, Ute's Gowanus Souvenir Shop, and shopping at the Whole Foods nearby to have food on hand. We spent most of our time in Manhattan, seeing the sights, but also loved the local feel of Brooklyn. It's about 2 blocks to walk to the Subway and a short ride into the city from there. Such a great first Airbnb experience to go along with a great first trip to NYC! Definitely recommend!
Jun 27, 2019Ute's place was a perfect home away from home for me for the week. It was my first time in NYC but everything was so easy, from checking in to catching the subway to different locations around town. At first I thought the neighbourhood seemed a bit weird, but it's actually pretty nice when you get used to it. Would definitely recommend :)
Jun 27, 2019Ute's place is very clean and comfy. It is in a safe neighborhood and it's within walking distance to the subway and lots of shops and restaurants.
Jun 27, 2019Ute was very kind and sweet. great neighbor.
Jun 27, 2019I couldn't get over how great the room was. It had lots of Brooklyn character. The room is on a quiet street, but within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and bars. Ute was very responsive and helpful. Would love to stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019I really like Ute's place. I have stayed there twice. I like the location. Once you learn the subways, it is great. I LOVE the eating options in Brooklyn! There are fabulous restaurants and good markets nearby, if you want to cook. The neighborhood is artsy and safe. The apartment is very clean. There is a lot to see and do in Brooklyn, but you are very conveniently located to the City as well.
Jun 27, 2019Ute's home in Gowanus is beyond charming and in one of the best neighborhoods in brooklyn. It feels like real community and unless you have to, you wouldn't ever have to leave--great eats, drinks, parks, late night pizza, shops, etc. The apartment itself was immaculate and beautifully furnished with simple pieces. It wasn't a very hot week, so the window AC unit was the perfect amount of cool. Bed was cozy and the kitchen had all the basics although I certainly didn't cook there. Shower/bathroom was spotless, great water pressure and again just really simple. The profile is 100% accurate. In terms of a host review, Ute was professional, easy going, and very organized. She reached out in advance to give me check in information and happened to be traveling but set up a meet/greet with her partner Joel. Could not have been more smooth. I even forgot a few things and Ute reached out to me before I left town so I was able to come back and grab them! I hope to be able to come again, the location is amazing and the place so comfortable.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is calm and well located to the area of Caroll Garden, and look exactly like the pictures.
Jun 27, 2019A fantastic place to stay conveniently located just a few blocks away from so much that you could want from a visit to Brooklyn. I visited for my sister's wedding and was a stone's throw away from the venue, the hotel, the rehearsal dinner, etc. The street is quiet and tucked away from the main roads so you're guaranteed some peace after a long day. Not only that, but Ute keeps the place very clean, which makes the experience very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend and would visit again if ever I need an AirBNB in Brooklyn.
Jun 27, 2019It's an up & coming neighbourhood in Brooklyn. Walking distant from the train and food options. A great space that made me feel like I living in a loft and felt homey.
Jul 27, 2019Great place, clean, great part of Brooklyn , and the host is reliable and friendly. Caveats: Bring ear plugs and an eye mask, as there is a fair amount of noise and light in the morning. Also, not a good place if you plan on having people over at night, as the host (who lives next door) can hear and will ask you to keep it down. Lastly, the place is in Gowanus, not Carroll Gardens, but close to Carroll Gardens if you want to be able to walk there.
Jun 27, 2019My parents stayed here a few days whilst visiting me. Was exactly as described and great views of Manhattan!
Jun 27, 2019Super clean and in a great location for where our event was being held. Lots of very good restraunts in the area, and a Whole Foods if you'd like to eat at home. Ute was super friendly and provided clear simple instructions for our stay. We will be back!
Jun 27, 2019Loved this place. Very clean and functional. Industrial vibe but close to great food, coffee, and subway. Great communication.
Jun 27, 2019Great space close to plenty of bars and restaurants and only a short walk from the subway. Ute was also a great host and very accomodating with checking in and out which was very helpful for us due to a delayed flight and traffic!
Jun 27, 2019Ute's place was absolutely perfect for our needs. We were headed to a wedding at 501 Union and needed a conveniently located place to stay that could accommodate a baby. Ute was very responsive and flexible with our check in time, and her place was neat and cozy. The neighborhood is quiet and residential and we were able to find parking with relative ease. Would definitely stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019The place is as described. We (my twelve year old son and myself) loved staying there and would love to stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019To begin with, Ute was very responsive to initial communication and questions which is such a key component of a great AirBnb stay. She was also able to accommodate a slight change to our reservation which was much appreciated. The apartment itself is really nice, in a great Gowanus location. It's clean, exactly as described, and feels like a good value for the price. We wouldn't hesitate to choose Ute's apartment again for an upcoming trip.
Jun 27, 2019It’s a up and coming area. Quirky with excellent shops a short walk. Best ice cream just round the corner. Restaurant close is excellent. Over the weekend it was quiet. Had a lovely time host is very responsive to any issues or questions.
Jun 27, 2019Ute was the perfect host. Great communications. Easy check in and check out. So personal but also felt very private. Amazing location. Everything you need for a great stay. Bed was comfy too. Highly recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Ute's place was great. Check in was simple -- we picked up the keys from Ute, who was a block away. The apartment is on a quiet street with an industrial feel -- no shops on the street itself. Parking was abundant, and it's just a few blocks from some very trendy bars and restaurants. The apartment is a decent walk from public transportation, but the major subway hub in Brooklyn makes it convenient. The apartment is a loft-style apartment, up two flights of stairs. We stayed with our baby, and Ute provided a pack-and-play that was perfect for her. The kitchenette has the basics -- smaller (1/2 size) fridge, stove, hot pot for tea, French press coffee maker, etc. No dishwasher or microwave -- this isn't the place for cooking (but no need to cook in NYC). The bed was firm and comfortable, and the shower had great pressure. Everything was clean and neat. It's a great Brooklyn experience in a fascinating neighborhood that gives you a feel for Brooklyn's past and future.
Jun 27, 2019The place was lovely and had nice homey touches throughout, matched the pictures exactly. We chose the area as friends live really close by. Feels very industrial and to our surprise, there is a really lovely restaurant on the corner called Freek's Mill that has recently opened - really nice food and vibe. Smith Street very close, for more great places to eat and drink. Also worth heading towards Union St station and have some Polish dumplings at Baba's Pierogies! The only tiny downside, since we agreed to pay $50 extra for a second sofa-fold-out bed to be made up, we found that wasn't done when we arrived and had to remind our host. However, it was quickly made up after we headed out after arrival. Very recommended!
Jul 27, 2019Schöne Wohnung mit tollem Blick in spannender Gegend!
Jun 27, 2019No frills, but location makes this place. Host was friendly and responsive.
Jun 27, 2019We have mixed feeling about Ute's place. There are some cons that heavily affected our stay. PROS: Good location and close to the subway. Not the prettiest neighborhood in Brooklyn, but it's relatively safe and there are some new and interesting eateries. Comfortable bed, one of the best we've had in an airbnb. Without asking, Ute told us that we could have a late check out, allowing us to leave at 1:00pm because she didn't have any guests after us. She quickly accommodated our requests to raise or lower the heat, which she controls from her side of the building. CONS: When we arrived, Ute greeted us to show the apartment, and there where bags of garbage just outside the door to the unit. She threw them away right after. The apartment is on top of a mechanic garage so it was very loud during work hours (beginning at 8am), and the space quickly filled with a strong engine exhaust odor. The heater made a strong gasoline-like smell, which made sleep difficult and breathing uncomfortable. The apartment appeared clean but the second day we found a cockroach in the bathroom near the shower. Even though we didn't plan to cook, it was challenging to peel an apple because there weren't proper knives. In the kitchen both the sponge and dish towel were so dirty we didn't feel comfortable using them to clean dishes, so we bought our own. The bathroom towels were probably clean but very old and the lighter ones had dark stains. We also found stains on the bed sheets.
Jun 27, 2019It was a pleasure staying at Ute’s apartment. It’s bigger than several of my NY friends’ one-bedroom homes! It has a great view of downtown Brooklyn and I was able to make breakfast in the kitchen. Ute was quick to respond to my questions and greeted me when I arrived. She told me a lot about the neighborhood, which is an interesting mixture of manufacturing and residential properties. My appointment was in Manhattan and the subway was a quick walk. On the way back, I took a different route and got to see a bit of Carroll Gardens. I was able to stay only one night and would stay here again on my next trip back.
Jun 27, 2019Nice place close to everything. Ute is timely with her responses and seems very friendly from our brief interaction.
Jun 27, 2019Ute is a fantastic and prompt host. The apt is in a great location next to great coffee shops, Whole Foods and restaurants. It was a great option for a business trip.
Jun 27, 2019This is our second place staying at Ute's Airbnb. The neighborhood continues to change in interesting and fun ways -- more coffee shops, more bars, etc. Ute gave the apartment a nice upgrade with a high-powered space heater, new paint, etc. It's industrial -- the apartment is above a garage with two big flights of stairs. The bed and shower are terrific. The small kitchenette was all we needed, and Ute provided a pack-and-play for our 8-month old. We love this apartment and hope to return.
Jun 27, 2019This is a great space! Just as pictured, clean, stylish, spacious, and comfortable. Great view of downtown BK skyline! Close to subway, Whole Foods Market, Park Slope and Carroll Gardens. Ute is very responsive and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Ute es una anfitriona muy hospitalaria. Su departamento es muy comodo y luminoso.
Jun 27, 2019Nice neighborhood, cool place, with very nice view.....can indeed recommend
Jun 27, 2019Appartement lumineux, atypique et très agréable à vivre, literie parfaite! Situe juste à côté de l arrêt de métro Union Street à Brooklyn, j y retournerai!
Jun 27, 2019Such a great experience, the apartment is perfect, comfy, clean, design and with a lot of space. The view is great and the area is full of cool places restaurant and bar. Ideal location for the metropolitan and we re glad to use the Citi bike as well. Thanks to Ute for everything.
Jun 27, 2019My travel mate and I really enjoyed staying in the heart of Gowanus. While interesting to enter, the payoff of downtown Brooklyn views is sublime. We found the place clean, quiet, inviting and personal. The location was also right up our alley: a really nice coffee shop on the corner and walking distance to interesting local restaurants, entertainment and breweries. Access to the train was also easy for trips into Manhattan. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.
Jun 27, 2019Top Urlaub in einer Top Location in New York City!
Jun 27, 2019Seriously, don’t look any further! I’ve done the research for you - I’m pretty sure I looked at every single Airbnb property and hotel in Brooklyn and Manhattan under USD 200/night, before determining that Ute’s was the best for our budget and for location, quietness, comfort, transport connections to JFK and Manhattan, and local amenities. There’s a reason this place has such good reviews. We stayed six nights at Ute’s and were really happy with our choice; check-in and communication with Ute was very easy, there was an A/C unit when needed, a serviceable kitchen, a good bathroom, comfortable and large bed, and good available storage space. The neighbourhood is really up and coming with great bars, cafes, shops, and restaurants in the area, and we liked that it was close to the R. There’s a Whole Foods close by (and an Associated Supermarket when you’re feeling less rich), a gym by Union St, and we also liked that Prospect Park was within jogging distance. Thanks Ute!
Jun 27, 2019Bei Ute waren wir zum zweiten mal.Die Unterkunft ist einfach das was man sich in New York wünscht.Subway , Supermarkt ,Restaurant (Dinosaurier)alles in der Nähe.Ute ist super nett , man bekommt auch Tips und Erläuterungen die mit Geld nicht zu bezahlen sind.Unterkunft ist immer in einem sauberen Zustand. Und sogar bis hin zu Handtüchern ist alles vorhanden.Fahrt hin ,Ihr bereut es echt nicht.
Jun 27, 2019Tolle Aussicht, ruhig, gute Infrastruktur in der Nähe!
Jun 27, 2019Ute’s loft is in a great spot in Brooklyn, near wonderful restaurants, and convenient to Park Slope. A street of artists and families. The loft is spotless and comfortable, with a great view of downtown Brooklyn. Check-in and check-out could not have been easier. Ute communicates reliably and swiftly, and she is a perfect host. We will rent again when we next visit our children in Brooklyn.
Jun 27, 2019Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable chez Ute. L’appartement est charmant et il ne manque rien. On se sent tout de suite chez nous. Le quartier est très calme et en même temps il y a tout ce qu’il faut. Des petits cafés sympas, une super friperie, la station de métro au bout de la rue. Je recommande vivement cet endroit.
Jun 27, 2019This apartment is such a steal! Easy access to Park Slope and Carroll Gardens, plus just about any subway line you could need — all that AND you’re right around the corner from the best ice cream in Brooklyn (Ample Hills). The space is inviting and comfortable and the view is stunning. This was my second time staying at Ute’s place and I’d happily return.
Jun 27, 2019The location was perfect for getting around Brooklyn. The house had what we needed for our extended weekend. Very clean and cool. We felt safe in the neighborhood. If I were to return to the Gowanus area I would definitely stay again. Things to note: The bed is very hard (which may be your jam, but wasn’t ours). If you need linens for pull out couch- be sure to request in advance.
Jun 27, 2019I booked Ute's place for my parents, during their visit from California. Ute was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process, and met me and my parents when they were checking in. She explained everything in great detail and assured us that we could reach out if we needed any help. Her place is exactly as explained and photographed in photos, with a little extra charm! Freek's Mill, a Michelin starred restaurant is located right at the corner, and one of my favorite breweries is just a few blocks away. A really great place in an awesome neighborhood!
Jun 27, 2019It was in a nice location, plenty of space, easy to check in with Ute. We also had a quick walk to catch the trains. Only downfall was no blinds, making it hard to sleep in during the mornings.
Jun 27, 2019Great stay! Will be back!
Jun 27, 2019We appreciated our stay at Ute's place. The flat is large and well equipped, very quiet, at 10 min from Caroll's garden by walk. Communication with Ute was great and she did best to provide solutions at our arrival.
Jun 27, 2019The place was great and Ute was very nice! Totally recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Nice location in Brooklyn.
Jun 27, 2019Gorgeous location, fantastic hospitality and a really very stylish apartment. Perfect for our trip, with the host more than willing to be flexible with arrival times and communication was quick and personal. All photos are completely true to the apartment, and most amenities are provided. The area is friendly and vibrant with everything that downtown Brooklyn does best (bars, markets, vintage stores - Ample Hills Creamery round the corner does the wildest ice cream!). Great base for those who want to enjoy the full New York experience and also the growing community in Brooklyn itself.
Jun 27, 2019Real Brooklyn/New York experience. As for every major city, we strongly suggest you keep your suitcases off the floor and zipped up. Note there are steep steps to climb to access the flat, not accessible for less mobile people...also difficult on Tuesdays if you have a car - and yes, you will be ticketed if you don't find alternatives. Grocery in the whole area is really expensive, so come prepared if you are travelling from within the US. If from outside - restaurants will surprisingly be easier on the wallet.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is really nice and Ute is reactive and helpful. I do recommand this location if you want to stay in Brooklyn
Jun 27, 2019Great host. Cool building. Nice apartment.
Jun 27, 2019Ute's place is spacious and complete, yet sparse - a nice complement to the neighborhood. Everything was clean and orderly, warm and comfy. There's a bookshelf full of both tourist and literature book by the couch and I found myself reading a field guide of birds in NYC area parks in the mornings., sipping coffee from the french press there. The photos capture the place well and the neighborhood is fantastic. Lot's of good food, art and bars nearby. It is a warehouse / light industrial area with mixed use so expect weekday morning noise and activity, but nothing that woke us or kept us up. Easy access to Manhattan, though the R train seemed to be frequently delayed during out time in the area. Ute was easy to contact and responsive which made coming and going simple. Thanks and look forward to the next excuse to come out that way.
Jun 27, 2019Appartement dans quartier industriel et artistique proche commerce et métro Un autre New-York très peu touristique! Parfait avec un ado
Jun 27, 2019Lovely, stylish apartment in nice area, close to subway. We wished we’d had more time to explore the Gowanus area, but location was great for city. Ute is super helpful and her place is well-equipped and spacious. I could have chilled there for a month! (Great books too!)
Jul 27, 2019This loft is in the perfect location. Close to restaurants (we suggest the tapas bar Blueprint, that was our favorite and only 10 minute walk away!) and the loft itself is extremely charming. Ute was a great host and our stay was as comfortable as could be. Would return!
Jun 27, 2019We were in town for a conference and we loved our stay in Ute's space! It was perfect, clean and comfortable. Great location with great little restaurants and bars a few blocks in walking distance. I would definitely recommend Ute's spot for friends visiting in the future.
Jun 27, 2019We rented Ute's apartment and larger loft to host our wedding this past weekend. Ute was super easy to work and communicate with and even allowed us access a bit early to take measurements for our event. She was very clear about what was and was not permitted and followed through on everything we discussed. Overall it was a very positive experience and ended up being the perfect venue to host our big day!
Jun 27, 2019Ute is wonderfully welcoming, helpful and congenial, and it was extremely easy to check-in. The apartment is bright and cozy. Ute’s place was quiet, spacious and very clean. The apartment is up two flights of industrial stairs which could be daunting to anyone with limited mobility.
Jun 27, 2019Well-placed good-quality accommodation in a renewing former industrial area of Brooklyn with excellent facilities nearby.
Jun 27, 2019super easy check-in process, great communication, awesome location, looks just like the photos. thanks for a great stay, ute!
Jun 27, 2019It was exactly what I needed while staying in Brooklyn for a wedding. Stylish safe loft, easy communication, close to the train. Would definitely recommend!
Jun 27, 2019This loft is a cosy and nice place to stay when visiting New York. On a small but spacy place, you find all the comfort you need: bathroom with shower and kitchen are well equipped, the beds sleep comfortable. A tasteful interior with a nice view on the Brooklyn skyline. Close to subway stations with trains in all directions. Easy to reach by public transport when coming from JFK Airport as well. Enjoyable in every way!
Jun 27, 2019Perfect place, and wonderful hospitality. Thank you, Ute!
Jun 27, 2019Light, clean, great communication. Everything as expected and pictured. You can see the city scape in the distance.
Jun 27, 2019Ute’s space was amazing. Love the location. On a quite street and close to everything. Amazing view of the city!!! I’d recommend this space to anyone traveling to NYC.
