Alan's place is a warm and cozy apartment in a perfect location. Alan is extremely helpful with information about the area as well as any needs you may have for your stay. Public transportation is a block away. The neighborhood is excellent for walking with so many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Transportation into Manhattan is 20 minutes or less even during rush hour. I would highly recommend Alan's place for great lodging during a visit to New York CIty. Prospect Park is only a few blocks away.
