The location is great. We loved the neighbourhood and easy access to Manhattan. The apartment building is very quiet which was quite relaxing after spending busy days in the city. We ate amazing pizza, all in Brooklyn (L’industrie, Roberta’s, and Ace’s pizza), bakery (La Bicyclette), and coffee shops (SEY, La Cabra) (La Cabra is located in Manhattan). The apartment was also suitable for our 5-year-old child. It was a bit on the warm side but you can open the windows if it gets a bit too warm and there is AC if you need. Finally, the apartment is a real apartment. It embodies the spirit of what AirBnb used to be at the very beginning: to stay at someone’s place. Emily’s apartment has its small imperfections, but it makes you feel like you’re one of them, a New Yorker, for a couple of days and that is for me essential to my travel experiences.
