Great neighbourhood and apartment for our family of two adults and three boys ages 7, 6, and 4. We were very very grateful for the assistance with a parking space (twice!). We ate breakfasts and dinners at the apartment and headed into Manhattan during the day - the subway was walking distance for everyone and the apartment had everything we needed to make meals. Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6 has an *amazing* playground, also within walking distance. Basically the best apartment and best location ever. Be aware that the second bedroom is accessed through the master - perfect for us, maybe not perfect for all.
