Katharine's apartement is lovely and extremely well situated within the Cobble Hill area and more or less opposite a Trader Joe's which made it a very affordable stay for us in NYC/Brooklyn. There are plenty subway stations within walking distance serving different lines so you always have a good connection to Manhattan no matter what the MTA is cleaning/building/repairing next ;) We felt very safe and comfortable in our small yet sufficiently spacious and lovingly decorated room. Katharine's brunch and lunch recommendations are the best! We loved Brunch at Cafe Luluc and Bar Tabac as well as dinner at Joya (you can sit outside or in the back garden at all of these places). Check out Brooklyn Farmacy for Sundaes, Numero 28 for Italian and (unexpectedly) great cocktails and Buttermilk Channel for Brunch (Pecan French Toast!) too if you are staying longer. Definitely coming back again and will recommend to friends!
