Françoise and I enjoyed our first stay in New York very fmuch and Carla's place is really good located to reach Manhattan. Coming back to Brooklyn in the evening was a real pleasure after spending the day in the lively but also noisy part of New York. We also enjoyed sitting in the small court in front of the house with a glass of wine and watching the people passing by.
The only inconvenience was the air condition that was for us too noisy to leave it on during the night. But if you switch it on during the day the flat is cooling down and it should be fine. All in all the flat is highly recommended.
