We were very lucky to have a week at this lovely apartment. It is perfect for anyone visiting Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is especially well kitted out for families (lots of books and toys). We really enjoyed being in a regular neighbourhood. The local area has lots to offer and we spent our first day in beautiful Prospect Park where there is so much to do. We loved Carl’s local restaurant recommendations for brunch and dinner. There are two subway lines a short walk away so getting into, and out of Manhattan, is really very easy. It was a perfect place to return to at the end of a long day sightseeing. Carl was the perfect host. He responded quickly to our queries and it was great to briefly meet him during our stay. His wife’s lovely art work adorns the walls and makes for an inviting and interesting space. We would return.
