From the start, Daniel and family made us feel very welcome into the apartment, with a warm smile, some snacks to get us started, and offering of help with anything we needed.
The apartment is warm and comfortable, so nicely decorated and the pictures online barely do it justice. There is room to spread out, (there were 3 of us), and access is easy. We were so exhausted after a red eye across the country and then packed days, the bedding was so cozy and restoring each night.
The neighborhood is great, thought it would be noisier, but again the nights were peaceful. Access to so many restaurants of all flavors, coffee and pastry shops in all directions. We used the Bergen subway stop to go to Manhattan almost every day for something or other and it worked well, it felt closer, for us at least, than the Court St/Borough Hall one. Even though we went to Manhattan several times over our 4 days, we enjoyed the family feeling in Brooklyn with all sizes of kids and dogs around, and wonderful brownstones to admire.
Would highly recommend the Brooklyn experience and Daniel as your host, he was so accommodating and helpful.
