My friends and I had a great time staying at Brooklyn Cove. Julian was extremely helpful and welcoming, he even gave us a bottle of wine to welcome us (which we cracked up straight away - much to Julian's amusement). New York was freezing cold (it snowed) during the time we were there, but the apartment had great heating so we hardly knew it. The location is really convenient - just a few hundred metres from the supermarket and the J train. A great place to stay.
