If this listing is available for your dates and it's within your budget we highly recommend booking it. We had a 9 night stay over Christmas and loved every minute. It's only 2 blocks from the L line which takes you across to manhattan (it's the first stop, so super convenient). We've previously stayed in Manhattan but Brooklyn is far better. Much less crazy but heaps to do. The apartment is lovely, and we think even better than the pictures. The bed is great, the sofa is ok too (although not sure for 2 people). The bathroom is renovated and the whole space is huge. Bedford Street and the surrounding streets have endless restaurant options and there's also a Wholefoods too. It's only a 10 minute walk down to the water for stunning views across to Manhattan. Pick up a 7 metro card too, it makes travelling anywhere so much easier. We've found recently that many listings are underwhelming yet have fabulous reviews - this was by far our favourite place on our 3 month holiday, everything was so well presented. The host lives across the hall, and the apartment block is super quiet and very safe. We wished we stayed longer as out following stay in San Francisco was horrible (yet had glowing reviews). Thanks so much Susan, you've got a lovely listing.
