We really enjoyed staying at Danica's place mainly because of its location. The apartment is comfortable and modern with great access to the subway and shops. But being right next to Prospect Park and a good hours walk from Brooklyn Bridge is what gives you a real sense of New York living in this neighbourhood. Hip local bars and cafes, ethnic food shops and friendly laundry services.
Danica is friendly and was great to communicate with before and during the stay helping with tips about the neighbourhood and beyond.
If your worried that it's too far from the tourist trap of Manhattan don't as its only around 30mins on the Q to all the sights and sounds of the Big Apple. Go the other way and its only 30mins to Coney Island and Brighton Beach. We would certainly recommend for the adventurous looking for the real New York.
