We had two small dogs with us and Brian and Rachel's apartment was spacious, very clean, and located less than one block away from the lovely Prospect park. We went for long walks, and our son biked for miles and miles; there is even a skating rink. We have stayed in Manhattan before and this new setting is totally different; it is a safe, quiet, family neighborhood with many coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance and no crowds. Brian and Rachel are always prompt in answering any question. Thank you Brian and Rachel.
