Our stay at Manny's appartement was wonderfull. The appartement was as luxurious as a top hotel suite. We love the industrial interior design and especially the fire place. The beds where even more comfortable than our beds at home!! The two bath rooms are so well designed, that I made photo's to get inspired and improve our bathrooms at home. All is wel taken care of in the appartement; enough towels, shampoo etc., a complete kitchen with everything you need and more, and wifi ;-) There's a romantic garden too. We've spent all our 7 days discovering Manhatten, NY... even though the appartement was so nice that we could have easily stayed in all week :-D Anyway, it's only a 5 minute walk to Utica metrostation; than 15 minutes by metro to Manhatten. In Brooklyn, at a 2 minute distance from the appartement, there are some lovely cafes and some usefull stores; we love the Trade Union cafe, we did breakfast there a couple of times. A very hipster place to be, nice people. And speaking of nice people; Manny welcomed us the first night, after a long journey from Holland to JFK, with two very tasty pizza's and a bottle of wine. He showed us around and handed over the keys. He left some instructions on the table, with only do's and no don'ts. We could ring him whenever we needed him, and he responses immediately. It was a wonderfull stay, I could recommend it to anyone. Our kids Jasper (age 12) and Wiegertje (age 11) enjoyed this trip and our stay so much, they would love to come back again. Thx Manny, Brooklyn rocks!
