This gorgeous flat was an absolutely marvelous home base from which to explore not only Brooklyn, but also the rest of the city, as it’s just a few minutes walk to several of the express subway lines into Manhattan and the Bronx. Situated on a garden-filled, quiet street of well-maintained homes of great character, Claudia and Doug’s spacious, second-floor unit is not only impeccably tidy and well maintained, but also beautifully appointed with comfortable, high-quality furniture and original works of art. In the middle of our wonderful week here we had the “interesting” experience of living through three days of heavy rain courtesy of tropical storm Henri, and we were indeed grateful for the comfort and security provided by this rock-solid refuge. Claudia and Doug graciously granted us a late check out, which allowed us to explore more of the surroundings before our transcontinental flight home. We’ll be back!
