The one-bedroom, garden-level apartment was larger than we assumed from the pictures (and our experience with New York apartments) -- comfortable and airy for two people relaxing and working.
And when you walk out of the apartment, the neighborhood is fabulous, with a local, laid-back feel to its shops, bakeries and restaurants, with on-the-block access to the F and G trains, and a trip around the corner to Prospect Park -- and even the movie theater and ice cream shop. This was perfect for two former New Yorkers visiting for meetings and to catch up with friends post-pandemic.
It's an actual family brownstone, so expect some squeaky floorboards and family sounds above you, but there's a mancave-worthy TV for sports or movies, a microwave for popcorn and a fridge for essentials between your trips out into the big city.
We hope to get back soon!
