We were looking for a place we could relax just far enough away from the bustle of Manhattan for a few days, and Carly's place was pitch perfect. While there is plenty going on in Red Hook the street was nice and quiet, just moments from Van Brunt St and the IKEA ferry, which is a huge bonus for those heading to Manhattan in the afternoon (otherwise it's a short bus-ride to the nearest subway station). Carly truly knows the area - down to the sweet locally-sourced fare in the fridge - and has thought of everything: she was on hand when we needed her help and advice, and hands-off for the rest of our stay. Last but not least, the apartment is every bit as good as it looks in the gallery. Thanks for having us!
