Cozy 1 bedroom apartment in trendy LIC

Our comfy apartment is located on the first floor of our two family home. The rooms are spacious and well lit with windows facing a zen patio. NEW: The hardwood floors on the 2nd floor apartment have been repaired and restored to dampen the noise in the Airbnb apartment downstairs. Our place is neat, cozy and quiet. It is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The kitchen (an electric induction hot plate is available to cook meals, see photo), bathroom, and bedroom are equipped with all the essentials to make your stay very pleasant. The apartment faces the back garden which displays a Japanese maple tree and a magnolia tree, elderberry shrubs, and other plants bordering a tiled floor. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner al fresco in the porch as well. The uniqueness of our place revolves around the idea of the contrast between a busy city and a relaxing place to wind down. Guests have access to the private accommodations in the apartment and exterior rear porch. The backyard patio can also be accessed with host/guest mutual agreement to avoid sharing a common space due to COVID-19 preventive measures and regulations. We live on the top floor so we can assist our guests as needed. We speak English, Spanish and basic Italian.
