We absolutely LOVED our stay at Julia's place. We felt at home instantly and loved the vibe of the apartment! The nearest train station is about a 10 minute walk but it only takes 30 mins to get to Manhattan, and the neighbourhood itself is beautiful and lots of fun, some days we didn't even go into Manhattan! There are lots of local shops and great places to eat, and Prospect Park is great fun. We loved how much room we had in the apartment and all the kitchen appliances were easy to use. The communication with Julia was second to none! Julia gave us loads of suggestions for places to visit and she was always friendly and responded promptly. I would definitely recommend this place and would like to stay again when I'm next in NYC.
