We loved our stay at Michelle's Brooklyn home. It was styled so cute and the backyard space was perfect for dinner outside. We stayed with our 2 kids and my husbands parents, so the master suite style downstairs room worked great for my inlaws to have some private space and the 2 rooms close together upstairs were great for us to be close to our boys(plus it was nice having a bed for each kid in their room).
The location was great, close to many coffee shops (I tried The Tin Cup and the newly opened Hey Monday-both delicious), subways and even a playground in waking distance. We had dinner at one of Michelle's recommended spots, Korzos, and it did not disappoint.
Because we have visited NYC many times in the past, we stayed local to Brooklyn (although the commute into manhattan would have been easy by car or train). It was easy to uber up to Dekalb market and then took the B25 bus straight from there over to DUMBO. So many fun things to explore in those areas. A new experience for us was a visit to Coney Island. It was a quick 20min drive from the house and my kids (and us) had THE BEST time.
Parking was surprisingly easy for the city and we found spots for our silverado under the bridge. Aside from our initial arrival, we only drove ourselves the one time to Coney island, but we were able to park in the same spot both times with visibility of our truck from the house.
Because this is a green house, it was pretty warm when we arrived-and would get warm in our absense during the day-but with AC units in each room the home cooled down quickly each time we came back to the house.
It was a great stay and we would highly recommend Michelles house.
