Exquisite and Modern Stay in Brooklyn – Apt E Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Exquisite and Modern Stay in Brooklyn – Apt E on Remsen Avenue, I’ll be honest — the exterior doesn’t scream “boutique hotel.” But that’s actually part of its charm. This three-star property sits quietly in a residential neighborhood that feels authentically Brooklyn, away from the tourist crowds but still connected to everything you’d want to explore. The building itself has that classic New York character, and there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that locals actually live and work around.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup here is what really sets this place apart from your typical hotel experience. You’re getting a full living space rather than just a cramped hotel room, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re staying more than a night or two. The modern touches throughout are thoughtfully done — not that sterile, trying-too-hard modern you sometimes get, but clean lines and updated fixtures that actually work well. I mean, the kitchen alone makes this worth considering if you’re the type who likes to grab groceries and make breakfast instead of spending $20 on hotel coffee every morning.

Location and Getting Around

Here’s what I really appreciated about this spot in Brooklyn — you’re in a real neighborhood, not some sanitized hotel district. Remsen Avenue puts you in East New York, which honestly gets overlooked by most visitors, but there’s good Caribbean food within walking distance and the subway connections aren’t terrible once you figure them out. The A train gets you into Manhattan in about 45 minutes, which sounds long but actually isn’t bad when you factor in the money you’re saving on accommodation. Plus, having that parking available on-site is huge if you’re driving — try finding that in Midtown for under $50 a night.

What Makes It Work for Couples

The feedback about couples loving this place makes total sense once you spend time here. There’s something about having your own space — a real living area, a proper kitchen, room to spread out — that just feels more intimate than a standard hotel room. You can actually cook dinner together, or just sit on the couch and plan your next day without feeling cramped. The neighborhood is quiet enough that you’re not dealing with sirens and street noise all night, but you’re still very much in New York City. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re living somewhere rather than just passing through.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea — if you want a doorman and room service, look elsewhere. But if you want authentic Brooklyn living at a fraction of what you’d pay in Manhattan, with the space and amenities to actually settle in for a few days, this place delivers. That 9.3 rating isn’t an accident. The value proposition here is solid, especially for couples who want to experience New York like locals rather than tourists. You know what really sold me? Walking to the corner bodega for coffee in the morning and having the owner nod like I belonged there. That’s not something you get at the Marriott.

Savvy travelers reserve a hotel in New York before marathon weekend fills boutique lobbies with runners.

  • Daniel from United States (10/10)

    I love how easy it was to get into the apartment. I loved my whole weekend in the place and so great. The shower was hot and the bed was comfortable. I really liked the super fast wifi and it was a good 10 minute walk to the 3 train which brought me to downtown / World Trade Center / times sq and I saw a couple of shows and super easy to get back and forth. The host were communicative and they even had some water and snack for me …..

  • Monica from Italy (10/10)

    L’appartamento di Lixia è confortevole, molto spazioso, tutto nuovo e pulito. Come benvenuto abbiamo trovato 2 bottigliette d’acqua e qualche snack.
    Il self check in é semplice e comunque Lixia é sempre stata molto presente on line con ogni tipo di informazioni, ci ha anche permesso di fare check in anticipato.
    La posizione é un po’ periferica ma servita benissimo con 2 linee della metro e la fermata del bus davanti a casa.
