The Carriage House is a wonderful spot (and Claire a wonderful host!) to land to spend time in the iconic Fort Greene / Clinton Hill neighborhoods of Brooklyn. My mother (in her 70's) stayed here for 4 days over a long weekend and felt safe, comfortable, and happy.
The unit itself is airy, bright, clean, and well equipped and sits on a leafy, quiet block opposite an elementary school. Within about 50 yards there is a sweet restaurant, a grocery, a Roman style pizza shop, and the perfect Primrose Cafe where you can get a coffee and enjoy their back patio. Close walking distance to the C or G trains, and easy access to prime bus routes on Lafayette and Vanderbilt -- this is a great launching off point to explore NYC. Be sure to check out the Saturday farmers market at Fort Greene park, and snag a reservation for pizza at nearby Emily pizza. You won't regret your stay at Claire's! Hope for more friends and family to return here one day!
