Beautiful Bushwick Oasis

I felt that the place was spotless and great -- only suggestion I have is to provide some kind of bodywash in the shower as there was only shampoo and conditioner.

Somebody really dropped the ball here. I was not emailed the information for the property and did not realize the two addresses given on Expedia had nothing to do with the actual location. By the time we were called back and given the actual location we could not even enjoy our room because it was not cleaned from previous guests and now we had to wait while it was cleaned. All that I received for compensation was no additional fee for late check out.

The apartment is close to lots of casual dining options, and in convenient proximity to subways. Ubers were immediately available too. Host was very responsive to our inquiries about local spots etc.

Good location!

Even though we spent one night it was a wonderful experience. From the beautiful apartment setup, perfect location, and excellent communication, this really is an oasis.

Clean space. Close to transit

Owner was very nice

This was a good 'home base' to use for exploration of NYC.

I loved it. I’ll definitely book again soon.

There was garbage and dishes in the sink. Address changed last minute

Beautiful place in a great spot for my needs. Easily found free parking and may great bars and restaurants nearby.

Cute little apartment, we had a nice visit.

Everything was perfectly placed and the host was amazing!!!!

The apartment my fiancé and I stayed in was basic at best. The listing was not what is pictured. The address given lead us initially to a homeless shelter which is crazy and within the body of the check in instructions the owner mentioned the property address change. Unable to reach the owner and had to contact Vrbo customer services. The new address is in a heavily populated community with traffic and parking issues. Subway is within walking distance. It was described as a newly renovated space but clearly lived in and the tenants were on vacation. While the bedrooms and linens were clean, you are only given two towels per room. Water pressure sucked and floors needed to be mopped. Living room is extremely small, no curtains, and furniture weathered and stained. In all, the property served its purpose and happy the heat worked as it was the coldest day of the year. The listing is deceiving, read ALL the reviews and set your expectations low if you opt to choose this property.

Everything was great, yes the location was changed but it worked out for the best, the apartment is well kept and very cozy and comfortable. Thank you for having us.

The apartment was very good we enjoy but I don’t like how lie about the location. In the booking is showing the apartment in the nice place but when I requested the address to the host she sent a different address in Wyckoff Ave. Is a different location. She said recently moved. Why is not update the address in Vrbo. The beds are in wood and when do you moved is so noise. Please be more honest with the clients.

It was a great place conveniently located in Bushwick. They did switch apts on us and this was a little further from my son but worked fine with public transportation . Britney was very responsive and we appreciated the early check in.

Great little apartment in Bushwick. Close to the subway and very responsive host.

Host communicated well.

Just what we needed. Clean and convenient.

The host changed the address/location a few days before we arrived. When we got there the door code did not work and they did not respond. I contacted VRBO help and was able to get a refund and find an alternative place to stay. If you are considering this rental please read back in the reviews. This is a multi location rental management listing with reliability issues.

Clean, appealing, great location

Space is great and it was very clean, but there was no shampoo or soap for the shower and the street noise was very high, especially after midnight

The property was nice and clean and worked well for our purposes. That being said, it seems as though the owner has several similar units and ours was not the one pictured. It was very similar, with similar furniture and the same room and bathroom count, but it was not the same. There were also some amenities listed that didn't exist (elevator, backyard, roof deck with stunning city view, and laundry room spin bike) - at least we did not see any of that.

Wonderful host with a comfortable and clean apartment. Perfect accommodation and location for an introduction and family member move to Brooklyn. Excellent food at La Pausa Coffee across the street for breakfast lunch and early evening drink, and Food Bazaar Supermarket two blocks away.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Read the other reviews that are very consistent with this story. Address sent was a homeless shelter. Property description had a different address. They then sent us 2 more addresses, and we went a total of 4 places in Brooklyn before getting to an open place 2 hours after arriving. Property manager was on a “camping trip” and wouldn’t pick up the phone but texted and messaged just fine after I called vrbo. This is not a legit address or listing and VRBO should be taking this down and this person should get banned from listing on the platform as they are consistently playing a shell game with properties. Did I mention one of the addresses listed had a family that LIVED in the apartment? We walked in on a family with information given to us in a vrbo listing….how could they even have that info?After that they had the audacity to ask if I could leave early so they could get a cleaner in the apartment, OR they could let me leave late if I didn’t leave a review. In summary, extremely sketchy. Avoid at all costs.

Caution! What you see here is not what you get. The photos & descriptions for “Beautiful Bushwick Oasis” are for a property on Stanhope St. where I stayed in 2022, so I rebooked in June ’25 for a stay last week. 3 days before arrival a notice from VRBO showed the address of my rental as on Bogart St, which I learned is actually a migrant shelter. (Upon arrival in NYC, I personally went there to check.) Oddly, the map on the same message indicated yet a different location on Himrod & Knickerbocker. Alarmed, I texted the property manager. 24 hours later I got notice of an address change to a flat on noisy Wyckoff Ave (7 blocks from Stanhope) above a grungy storefront directly on top of the L subway line. The “Oasis” listing which I had booked states “The building has an elevator, backyard, roof deck with stunning city view and laundry room, & a spin bike.” Not one of these is found in the Wyckoff flat. The 20-step walk-up was a problem for my mobility-challenged husband, & the rooms, although clean, were smaller & more spartanly appointed than the photos. Here is the manager’s “reasoning” just before our arrival: “Please be advised that we VERY recently had to move this Stanhope listing to a different 2 bedroom apartment- you will be among our very first guests! This unit is similar sized, newernicer”. This can’t be true, as at least 8 published reviews on VRBO of “Beautiful Bushwick Oasis” starting in April also mention a last-minute switch to this inferior unit. Beware.

Place worked out fine for a quick weekend visit. Working class neighborhood that was friendly. No surprises.

Brittany must have multiple listings and it seems like they might not be good at keeping them organized. I booked this location which the driving directions stated they were on a specific street. When I got the check in instructions days before my trip it stated a whole new street that looked like a hotel address. I messaged Brittany but had to get VRBO customer service involved to get Brittany to reply to my message. They told me that the apartment pictured was no longer available and then sent me an address to a 3rd apartment on a new street different than the check in address and the driving directions. Huh? The apartment we ended up with was not pictured but was still nice. Luckily we got in okay and everything was clean and orderly, but this check in process was a nightmare!

The place itself was fine and appeared similar to actual place on the “Beautiful Bushwick Oasis” posting. The host informed us of the address switch the day before we arrived to New York for our trip and switch us to another apartment at 287 Wyckoff Avenue. The location was still in bushwick, but not close to the original location at 19 Bogart Street in Brooklyn. The Wyckoff apt was furnished with the same IKEA style furniture, but based off the pics- it seemed slightly smaller and not as nice as the one advertised.During our trip, the apt was easy enough to access using the key or via the access codes. This apt was thankfully close to the subway as that was a factor in us booking the original place, so we were glad the switch-up didn’t make getting around more difficultFYI, the Wyckoff apt has 2 bedrooms each with queen beds, a couch, one bathroom, and a small kitchen. The rooms seemed smaller than the ones from the original posting, but at least there were AC units in every room. Fair warning about the beds- the mattresses are loud af if you move around and are not the most comfortable.The bathroom was okay, but the shower is finicky trying to adjust the cold and hot water. Also, the neighbors upstairs are super loud early mornings and late at night, so good luck you’re a light sleeper! Overall- the Wyckoff apt did the job (a place to sleep and get ready for the day), but I was expecting better considering the price we paid for the 5 days we stayed here.

Owners changed our stay to a different apartment, so we were not actually at this address. The property we stayed in was clean and comfortable. It was easy to check-in and owners responded to questions quickly.

The place was very clean- entry was easy as soon as we realized how to find the touchpad :)Super convenient via subway if needed. I ended up driving on this trip, and found street parking easily (and within one block).Would highly recommend!

I want to emphasize that the property that we stayed in was not the same property as this review. I booked this property with the green living room but at the last minute the owner had to change me to a different property. I don't know why and I was suspicious and concerned. However, the different property the owner moved me to was very nearby and was absolutely lovely. It was clean and nice and relatively new and well appointed. So we had a lovely time.

The place was perfect for my husband and my parents really close to the Subway and quiet at night! Brittany was great at communicating with us about the check in and all. Great place.

Great but missing salt and pepper, hand soap and one frying pan that should be replaced - other than, great location in vibrant neighborhood, very comfortable for 2 people.

Let me start by saying the apartment we ended up is was clean, cute, and well maintained. It was close to my daughter and where we hosted her baby shower. However, the listing advertised is not accurate and misrepresents where we actually ended up staying. After 4 addresses provided, I finally got the correct one. I asked prior to booking about the ability to accommodate 6 adults and was assured the unit would accommodate that many people. The day before my flight I was informed the unit was smaller than the original listing and that it would be “tight but doable” to fit 6 adults. Tight is an understatement, two guests ended up having to stay with my daughter and her husband and I had to refund them their share of the cost. So not only did we have to inconvenience my daughter and son in law, I am now footing the entire bill for this stay. This unit is made for 3 people max to be comfortable, 4 is tight but doable, but 6 people, no way. I will be reaching out to VRBO to see if I can get any compensation due to the misrepresentation. Other than that, the host communicated quickly and was helpful when I called VRBO about the 4 addresses to make sure I wasn’t being scammed. The unit is cute, clean and good location, just very very small and needs to be advertised as such so people know in advance how many people the unit can accommodate.

The unit was spacious, comfortable and clean. Plenty of room for our whole family to relax and regroup. The M line and L line were very close to the apartment which was the highlight of our stay. The neighborhood is vibrant with street vendors, we had some killer al pastor tacos from a stand just steps away from the front door. We would stay at Brittany’s home again on future visits

We were sent to the wrong property. The address listed took us to a homeless shelter where the director said a similar situation had happened the week before. Btw, the same pictures are still on the listing; they are not accurate. The place we landed was clean and nice but the stove did not work and there were four towels and no blankets though I had booked for four adults and four teenagers. The listing was three blocks from the subway so a great location. Some people may find it noisy at night - the locals were lively. I felt the host was disingenuous about her listing and unprepared for our booking.

Great apartment, great experience. Some street noise at night, but hey - it’s Brooklyn! And earplugs (supplied in the apt) will do.

This review is for the apartment on Wyckoff Ave, not the Stanhope address. We were switched to the new place just 3 days prior to our arrival. The original place was closer to the people we were visiting, so the change of location was a bit disappointing.If you’re just looking for a place to sleep in Brooklyn, this place is fine. The apartment is on a busy street, but it’s close to restaurants, groceries, and public transportation. If you are looking for additional amenities such as a working stove and oven, pots and pans that are damaged, or even salt and pepper, look elsewhere. A coffee maker is provided, but there is no coffee or filters. The gas stove doesn’t work (no gas) so a single burner hot plate is available to make your meals.One butter knife, a steak knife, and a plethora of forks and spoons will help you consume your take-home meals.The bathroom is a little dated with a worn toilet seat and a medicine cabinet that is falling apart. Water pressure is low, so expect longer showers. Make sure to bring your own body wash and shampoo, as none are provided. Beds were comfortable, but the pillows were quite stiff. Earplugs are provided to help with the street noises.I’d consider staying here again if some of the issues were addressed. The overall experience fell short of expectations.

We stayed at this property for 5 days. It is relatively close to LaGuardia Airport and easy to find. It truly is in a neighborhood with a bodega and several small restaurants within walking distance (try Gordo's Cantina on St Nicholas). The apartment was adequately furnished and clean, the beds were comfortable. It appears that it has recently been painted and updated. The hallways and elevator were also very clean. The property manager was very responsive to any questions throughout the visit. The DeKalb subway entrance is 1/2 block away. The only oddity was when we received our VRBO confirmation, the address was a totally different property. The manager kept stressing to use the address she e-mailed. She explained that the property was just listed and they were working it out but there are reviews from November.All in all, we were pleased with our stay and would rent the apartment again and/or recommend it to friends.

this was an awesome little pad for our trip to bushwick. comfortable, well located and perfect size. landlord also very nice. we had trouble with the wifi and she quickly fixed it. highly recommend.

The property was clean and cozy and Brittany was very responsive to any questions we had. This is our new go to place when we visit our son!

This was a fun place to stay in Brooklyn. The apartment felt clean and modern. I loved the owner’s selection of books about art, decor and other topics. There was lots of fun stuff to browse. I also loved the live plants. Such a nice touch in a busy city. The property manager was responsive, and accommodating. The two beds were comfortable and there were thoughtful touches like earplugs and blackout curtains, which were both appreciated. I knew it was Brooklyn, and the neighborhood was about what I expected, but the apartment building felt secure. This apartment was exactly what we needed for our stay. We had exploration in mind, and the subway was a half block away, so the location made it easy to get around.

Overall, the stay went well. It's extremely loud and hard to sleep and very cold when the temperature outside drops at night. The location was great and the apartment was clean and tidy. Once we found the place, the check-in process was pretty seamless. The property manager was easy to reach with a question.

very nice apartment in fun neighborhood

Apartment was as described.

Great space, amazing location, quaint in the right way. Would recommend for sure
