Had a nice stay at Marc's place which is right next to Prospect Park! The apartment is tastefully decorated, and full of interesting books and memorabilia.
However, if you prefer having a host that drops in to check in on you during your stay, this may not be the best fit. Additionally, the building is slightly old which means that more modern amenities such as central heat (we stayed during fall) are absent.
Having said that, there are several noteworthy features too. The kitchen is excellent, and anyone looking to cook during their stay is in for a treat. The proximity to Prospect Park cannot be understated, as it is a beautiful big park and the largest in Brooklyn. It is an absolute delight to walk through during the fall season. Overall, we quite enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a nice apartment in Brooklyn.
