We had such a great stay in Brooklyn! The apartment is well-appointed and located on a quiet side street — but close to a huge array of shops, restaurants, transit, and close to Prospect Park. The place is really efficiently laid out, so our kids could have space to play happily (other peoples toys are always the MOST fun) — even in the early morning before all of the adults were awake. There is also a great supply of kitchen items, towels, etc. all easy to find an uncluttered!
