A perfect place to stay over Christmas! She made us a little Christmas eve dinner and made sure we had all that we needed! The location is close to a subway station, the park, 7th and 5th avenues (for dining/shopping/coffee/groceries), and is within walking distance of a lot of Brooklyn destinations (the botanical garden, zoo, downtown brooklyn, riverfront, etc.) Because of it's proximity to the subway lines, you'll be able to get most places in Manhatten (downtown, times square, central park, the met, etc.) in 30-40 minutes or less most of the time. Apartment itself was very clean, quite, and cozy. Truly felt like we were home and not on vacation.
