Welcome to out Brooklyn sublet!
We are renting our lovely, modern
and very sunny Brooklyn apartment. Our apartment is a
big, very clean two bedroom and well suited for a couple
with one or 2 children. The apartment is located in a
neighborhood called Ditmas Park which is close to Prospect Park and known for its old Victorian
mansions. Ditmas Park is a very green and very safe
neighborhood which has a neighborly and kid-friendly
feel to it. There are many artists living here and
people come from all over the city to its well-known
restaurants.
Our apartment is fully furnished, with large
windows, wooden floors, and a fully-equipped
kitchen, 2 bathrooms (1 bathtub, 1 shower) and a sunny
deck. Each room has separately controllable ac/heat. The
apartment comes with high speed internet, a movie
projection system, a clothes washer and a dishwasher.
Sheets, towels, blankets, blowdryer, etc. are provided. The
apartment is in a small, new building (finished 2009). It
has an elevator and therefore can be accessed with
wheelchair or stroller.
The apartment has two queen-sized beds, one single-person
sleeper sofa in the living room, and one child bed in the
master bedroom and can accommodate 5 adults and 1 child.
We are located in Ditmas Park which is considered one of the
most interesting and
diverse neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Affordable
shops, several excellent, high-end restaurants with
delicious food, 2 coffee shops, 2 hip bars, a food coop
and a large health food store, a health collective which
offers affordable yoga classes and much more called
“Third Root”, and a herbal pharmacy, a wine store (includes organic wine)
and 2 playgrounds are only one minute away. A
farmer's market is being held on Sundays. The Apt is on
the same block as "The Farm on
Adderley"
(restaurant), which got rated by Time Out Magazine as
the "best reason to ride the Q train." At the end of
this post you can find some links to our neighborhood,
the neighborhood blog, its restaurants. etc.
Transportation:
Prospect Park (Brooklyn's best park!) can be reached
in 5 min by bicycle or within 10 minutes on foot through
an area with beautiful, free standing Victorian
homes. The Q-train and the B-train are 5 minutes away
and the F-train 15 minutes. The Q-train for example
brings you to SoHo in 18 minutes. A ride to Union Square
takes about 25 minutes. Several express buses to
Manhattan are also available and are less than 1 minute
away from our apartment. The ocean can be reached via
subway in about 20 minutes as well.
We are looking for a responsible, quiet,
and respectful people who don’t smoke and have no
pets. Deposit which will be returned to you upon seeing
that nothing is damaged in the apartment when you leave.
Rent an entire apartment for much, much less than a hotel
room. Couples and families welcome. ENJOY & SEE YOU
SOON!
