The house is very cozy and nicely decorated. Big bedrooms, nice living area, slightly dark during the day, but not a problem for us. Red Hook is a nice and quiet neighborhood close to the water, the ferry to Manhattan, but a little far from the nearby subway at 9 Street. We love to walk, and exploring other areas is something we love. At the corner of Pioneer and Van Brunt is a nice bar with good tacos, opposite there is a deli, and Fort Defiance nearby is a great hangout for coffee and sandwiches.
There is no reason not to book the house, unless you’d like to be more near to Manhattan, since it takes around 50 minutes to get there by train.
