This is a comfortable and well located apartment in Dumbo. There are plenty of grocery stores and restaurants within minutes walk as well as the fabulous Brooklyn Coffee Roasters at the end of the street. On weekdays, a changing array of food trucks park in the lot next door. It's a very buzzy area during the week and slightly quieter on evenings and on weekends. Having said that, Smorgasburg food market on Sundays draws a big crowd to the waterfront and is well worth a visit. The subway is only a couple of blocks away at York St so you can be in Manhattan in minutes.

We stayed with our 2 year old and 4 year old and it worked well for us with a cot and sofabed in the second bedroom, as well as plenty of toys, booster seat/high chair etc. There is a good kids park (Main St) on the waterfront only a few minutes walk away.

Dikla and Noam are great hosts and lovely people, their home was clean and they were very easy to communicate with both before and during our stay. Noam happily helped us in and out with our luggage (it's two floors up) which was greatly appreciated. I would certainly recommend them as hosts.
