Arlene's home is a wonderful place to stay with ample room for our family of four. Three bedrooms with good sized beds, a 3rd floor loft with a great pull out sleeper sofa and a BIG tv, and the master suite was perfect for my wife and I. As a wannabe chef, the kitchen is well appointed with all the things I needed to make some great meals for the family when we did not eat out. There is a wonderful small butcher shop just a few blocks away called the Meat Hook that had everything I needed (veggies, stocks, dairy, and incredible quality beef) to make some nice "fixins" for the family. The home is located very conveniently and close to a main artery over to lower Manhattan and made getting there and back a breeze if you Uber. We used the subway mainly while touring Manhattan. Save the money and the hassle and stay in Brooklyn and at Arlene's. You will not be disappointed.
