Ilan's place is perfect for families that want to explore one of Brooklyn's hippest neighborhoods. It is also really convientient for getting into Manhattan - the subway is just at the end of the block! The street is really quiet and we had no trouble finding parking and no trouble sleeping. The black-out shades are a great touch!
If you have young children, the kid's room is truly a dream. It was actually hard to get the kids to leave the place to explore since they were so happy playing there. The backyard is sweet and another great place to let kids let off some steam.
We walked to Domino park both days on Ilan's advice, which was a really amazing new park on the river. Views were incredible and the playground was really unique. I highly recommend this lovely home!
