Briana's place was great! Good location in Brooklyn, 20-30 mins subway to Manhattan. Other great things: the A/C totally saved us during a heatwave, local places were cool to check out (not touristy at all), the apartment was spotless and a perfect home base. Highly recommend this place. The only tricky part was parking, but that's like all of NYC. We did end up finding a (free!) spot but it took a while. Still 10/10 experience.
