My husband and I only got to stay at Brady's place for a total of 7 hours (our flight arrived 9 hours later than scheduled), but we felt very comfortable with the place. Everything about the apartment is cute, friendly, and cozy. We met a few other travelers staying at Brady's place, and it was nice to have a communal place to share and meet people. Although we did not get to explore Brooklyn much, I hear it is becoming quite hip...definitely cheaper than staying in Manhattan but very close to the hustle and bustle of the city too!
