  • Great experience for us in Evelyn's Land.She is so aware of everyhing , helpful,and welcoming that we were happy to be at her house. Thks to Evelyn and Joe. Thks to airbnb.

  • We enjoyed our stay at evelyns house. She is a generous and attentive hostess who cares for her guests. The rooms are beautiful and we had a lot of space. Thank You - Danke schön!

  • The range from hot to cold, bedroom to bath in the middle of winter was a challenge, but Evelyn was consistently attentive and our stay, a really positive experience. She made us feel at home. The kitchen was well equipped and provisioned for breakfast. Great location, too. Thanks, Evelyn!

  • Evelyn was lovely, and greeted me graciously when I arrived though it was well after 22:00 (10:00 p.m.). At first I was surprised because the rooms did not really look like the pictures, and it seemed much smaller than I'd imagined, but it ended up being very comfortable and she very graciously also invited me to use her living room which is connected in an open fashion to the kitchen and 2nd WC. She was extremely helpful, and took a great deal of time to help me find places and make decisions as to what is best to see/do. We got along really well and chatted due to our common professions etc. There were a few glitches, mostly technical (1st night I couldn't get the TV remote to work, and to set the alarm you need a PhD in Apple instrumentation!!! and both those things were extremely frustrating. She was already asleep or I'm sure she would have helped me immediately. As soon as I told her the next morning, she realized that she should write instructions in her book on "How To...". I am sure that she will do so for the future. She made me feel very comfortable and to really feel at home which for me was very important and made my trip much more enjoyable and less stressful. (Even when I had a difficult time deciding what to do and getting out the door... she helped to get me going!!) On my last night there was a sudden power out, and fuses were tripped for some reason though I had not touched anything, and she was sleeping. The next morning - even though she was quite ill - as soon as I told her about the fuses she immediately fixed them and went back to bed. I felt badly to have bothered her, (though I needed light etc.) but she was still very helpful and did not seem to mind me bothering her. I would certainly recommend Evelyn's house and though I did not see the upstairs apt's. I am sure they are lovely as well. I certainly intend to discuss my staying there again on my upcoming 3 week working visit.

  • Staying with Evelyn was fantastic!! She was so nice and fun to talk to and her house is so nice!! The space was even better than I expected with a lovely room, sitting room and access to the kitchen. I can not say enough how great it was to stay there!! Thanks Evelyn, I hope to stay again sometime soon!

  • My son and I had a perfect stay with Evelyn in Brooklyn. She is a very thorough, welcoming and helpful host. The house is very cozy and it was wonderful to have all this space at our disposal. The area is safe and convenient for exploring Borooklyn and Manhattan.

  • The accommodations were very comfortable, clean, charming. I was able to experience living in Park Slop for a few days. Evelyn was a perfect host. She was available if needed, but if I needed to be alone, I was comfortable doing that. The suite was set up for complete privacy except sharing a bathroom. At the same time, I felt comfortable going to the kitchen to get breakfast. or staying up late talking with her. This was a wonderful first time experience for me. I will visit her again

  • Evelyn is a natural host, and runs her beautiful and modern accommodations with all the warmth and care of a New England bed & breakfast. Hope to be back soon! Sean

  • Great space and great location. Close to the subway stop and everything in Park Slope. Evelyn is a terrific host!

  • Had a great time staying with Evelyn - the rooms were fantatstic and the welcome was very warm. Highly recommend it.
