Lindsay said: “Wonderful and convenient place to stay in Brooklyn. Looks exactly like the photos in the listing and was even better than expected. Blake left notes throughout the apartment to find light switches, operate the projector and everything else. Really appreciate the filtered water, two bathrooms, comfy bedding and everything else along with it.
Walking distance from fantastic coffee at Gimme! and delicious sandwiches at Campbell. Appreciate the prompt responses. Excellent place to stay while enjoying all NYC has to offer. Would gladly stay at Blake’s again. Thank you!”

Matthias said: “We had a great time in New York and Brooklyn and enjoyed every day of our stay very much. Our host Amadou and his family were very friendly and helpful and the apartment was very clean, safe, comfortable, spacy and nicely designed. And to have a private backyard garden is super. We were 4 people in the apartment and everything worked out perfectly.

Vicky said: “I was very lucky to find Kendra’s and Julien’s beautiful brownstone ground floor apartment available and snapped it up as soon as I saw it! It’s a great, thoughtfully laid-out space, feels super safe and it’s massive by New York standards – having stayed in a hotel room for 6 weeks beforehand, it was a joy to have this warm and cosy apartment to call home for ten days.
Kendra and Julien (and their gorgeous son, Lucien) are delightful hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them and they were full of local knowledge – ask them about the best crepes in NYC! I would stay here again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home-from-home experience in New York! Thanks, guys!”
