This was my first time staying in Brooklyn while visiting NYC. It was so great to come back to a quiet tree-lined street and have a large, upscale, tastefully appointed apartment to relax in after a day in the hectic city. The subway was just around the corner and by just staying on the train for a few more stops you're back in Brooklyn. It was faster than getting to many places inside the city, certainly faster than getting from Wall St to Harlem. I even took the Ferry a few times, which was cheap, fast, fun and had amazing views. Being in Brooklyn seems like the best option for my future visits; no downsides and lots of upsides. Also I saved time and money getting to the airport. I had an early flight and leaving from Brooklyn meant I didn't have to wake up at 5am and deal with NYC traffic, as I was much closer to the airport.
The apartment seemed brand new and Naveen said I was one of their first guests after they purchased the brownstone home and remodeled from top to bottom.
The local neighborhood is great and I spent a full day just hanging out in the area; Greenpoint. It had everything and had some very cool shops and indy designers. I kinda fell in love with New York all over again this trip expanded my idea of what it has to offer.
I so look forward to coming back. Thanks for the Nespresso Machine! Having a cappuccino in bed was awesome.
