\"New\u201cIt was just perfect!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In his review, Armand of the Netherlands raves about this \u201cvery nice apartment\u201d and the services of New York Habitat. This one-bedroom accomodation is situated on the garden level of a brownstone<\/strong>. Primely located on tree-lined Wycoff Street, the apartment is merely two blocks in one direction from trendy Smith Street and, in the other direction, four blocks from the bustling Atlantic Avenue.<\/p>\n

The 700 square foot apartment features decorative fireplaces<\/strong> and windows that look out onto a charming garden. The garden<\/strong> is maintained by the owners who reside in the floors above the rental and who have also proven to be incredibly helpful to the occupants.<\/p>\n

Donna comments that the apartment \u201chad everything we required for our stay and the hosts even supplied a high chair and some toys for our child.\u201d Several families have rented this apartment, all of whom have appreciated the comfort of the apartment and of the \u201cgreat family neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boerum Hill, Brooklyn:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stretching from about Third Avenue to Court Street and from Schermerhorn Street to Douglass Street, Boerum Hill has overcome a see-saw of a history<\/strong>. By the 1960s, the neighborhood had drastically declined. It lost its name of Boerum Hill and was lumped together with several other neighborhoods to form the area called Gowanus or South Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Beginning in the 70s, a group of preservationists made it their mission to restore the area to its former glory. They began to inhabit and revitalize the 19th century brownstones that dominate the area. As the fruits of their labor began to flourish, new business arrived in the area, as well as interested renters and buyers. The neighborhood, then, reclaimed its previous name, Boerum Hill.<\/p>\n

\"NewToday, Boerum Hill has become a showroom of renovated brownstones, new and trendy restaurants, a happening bar scene, and charming cafes. Smith Street and Atlantic Avenue have become hot spots for Brooklyn\u2019s happy hour and the weekend night scene.<\/p>\n

New York Magazine, in fact, named Smith Street \u201cthe most innovative, exciting restaurant row\u201d in the city. Not only has Boerum Hill become a fun destination for Brooklynites, but tourists and even inhabitants of Manhattan are beginning to flock there.<\/p>\n

What makes this Brooklyn brownstone a Hidden Gem?<\/strong><\/p>\n
