This fantastic studio apartment has everything you need to be your home base in NYC: A full size bed, a three seater couch, a kitchen you'll enjoy cooking in, a table you can actually sit at for dinner or to work, and a full bathroom. We're steps from the Q train, so you can be in Union Sq in 30-40 minutes. An affordable, relaxing oasis for anyone working in Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, or Midtown Manhattan! We welcome all ages, races, genders, orientations & backgrounds.

This apartment is in a beautiful, recently renovated home in leafy Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. We are experienced hosts and have built out our basement specifically to host visitors to NYC. You enter through a private side entrance, which leads to a hallway where you enter your private studio. This is your private apartment for the duration of your stay. You control the temperature of the heat/air conditioning. There is a free washer/dryer in the hall for all guests, and there's an iron and ironing board available for guests to share.

Ditmas Park is a quiet, safe neighborhood of wood framed Victorian homes. Cortelyou Road has several nice bars, restaurants, and grocery stores, but everything has a local neighborhood feel. Prospect Park is a 10 minute walk away and a fantastic place to run, walk, people watch and relax. Within 200 yards you'll find take-out or sit-down Chinese, Thai, Tibetan, Mexican food, plus pizza, bagels, burgers, ice cream, a great vegetarian/vegan restaurant, an 20-hour-a-day diner, 2 supermarkets, a dry cleaner and a really good wine shop.

We are 150 yards to the Q train stop at Cortelyou Road. The Q runs 24hrs a day and is about 15 mins to Park Slope, 35 mins to Union Sq, 45 mins to Central Park. From the Q you can get almost anywhere in NYC with at most one subway transfer. If you need to visit Long Island, you can get the LIRR from Atlantic Terminal. Free street parking is easy to find in our neighborhood. Street cleaning on our block is Monday/Tuesday, so you only need to move a car once per week.

We (Lee and Teri) have lived in Brooklyn for 20 years and in this house for 7. We've been hosting guests for almost 5 years, and have been Superhosts on that other site :-) for years and have over 1,000 5-star reviews. We love providing a comfortable home base for people who are staying in the city, and are very proud of all of the repeat guests who seek out our place.
