Charming 2Bd in Brooklyn Heights

Charming 2Bd in Brooklyn Heights Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Charming 2Bd in Brooklyn Heights, you immediately get that “local New Yorker” feeling rather than the typical tourist hotel vibe. This three-star apartment sits right on Montague Street, which honestly feels like the heart of one of Brooklyn’s most coveted neighborhoods. The building has that classic Brooklyn brownstone character — you know, the kind you see in movies but rarely get to actually stay in.

The Brooklyn Heights Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, which gives you those postcard views of Manhattan’s skyline. Brooklyn Heights isn’t just pretty though; it’s incredibly practical. The 2, 3, 4, 5, and R trains are all within easy walking distance, so getting into Manhattan takes maybe 15 minutes tops. Plus, Montague Street itself is lined with cafes, bookstores, and that perfect mix of chain stores and local spots that make daily life actually pleasant.

The Space Itself

The two-bedroom setup works really well for couples or small families — there’s enough space that you don’t feel cramped, but it’s cozy enough to feel homey. Each room has decent natural light, which can be surprisingly hard to find in New York apartments. The kitchen is functional rather than fancy, but honestly, that’s exactly what you need when you want to grab coffee in the morning or store leftovers from all the amazing food you’ll inevitably order. I mean, you’re in New York — you’re probably not doing much serious cooking anyway.

Practical Considerations

What really struck me about staying here is how it feels like borrowing a friend’s place rather than checking into a hotel. There’s no front desk drama, no fighting for elevator space with tour groups, just a quiet residential building where you can come and go as you please. The neighborhood stays pretty calm in the evenings too, which is perfect if you’ve spent the day dealing with Manhattan crowds. You’ll actually get some decent sleep here, and that’s worth a lot when you’re trying to pack in multiple days of sightseeing.

Why Guests Love It

The location rating of 9.6 from recent guests really tells the whole story — this spot just works. You’re close enough to all the action that nothing feels like a trek, but far enough from Times Square chaos that you can actually relax. Couples seem to particularly appreciate the authentic neighborhood feel and the fact that you can walk to dinner along the promenade at sunset. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re experiencing real New York life rather than just visiting it, and honestly, that’s pretty rare to find at this price point in such a prime location.

New York’s hotels wrap guests in art-filled lobbies, jazz lounges, and concierge-led borough food tours.

Reviews of Charming 2Bd in Brooklyn Heights

• Olive from Australia (9/10)

  Great location. I took a place in Brooklyn when I couldn't get anything suitable in Manhattan, but in retrospect, I wouldn't have changed a thing. The subway to anywhere in Manhattan is so simple, that it's absolutely irrelevant that you're on the other side of the river. It's a lovely neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants. Not touristy at all. Fairly cool/funky, without being grungy/edgy.
  The apartment was great and the hosts were lovely and easily contactable.

• Melanie from Germany (8/10)

  Location is great and Brooklyn is worth staying. There was tea and coffee in the Apartment we could use. Thanks for that! We would stay at the Apartment again 🙂

• Cynthia from United States (6/10)

  I would have loved to rate this property higher however –
  The Queen mattress was most uneven.
  There were no top sheets.
  There was no shower soap, bath mat, wash cloths, or even tissues.
  The wifi was not working Thanksgiving morning, I called and left a message for Kate only for her to text me 5 hours later to inquire if the wifi was working. because the other tenant had also notified her. It was very disappointing not to be able to watch the Macys Day Parade in TV since it was pouring down rain.
  I had spoken to Kate the day before regarding soap and the other amenities that I mentioned above.

• Nana from United States (3/10)

• Ricky from United States (8/10)

  Very spacious compared to hotels! Nice to have a full kitchen even though we didn’t get a chance to cook, it was nice having the option. And the bath tub was nice and big!

• Raquel from Spain (9/10)

  La ubicación es excelente, a 2 min del metro. La mejor opción para estar cerca de Manhattan a un precio más bajo. Las camas eran cómodas y todo estaba limpio. La cocina tenía de todo lo necesario.
  El anfitrión atento a los imprevistos que nos surgieron.
  Sin duda, para repetir
