Christiana's flat was in a lovely location in Brooklyn. Marcy Ave is literally a 5 min subway ride into Manhattan. The skyline every morning coming into the city was breath taking. For this reason I would highly recommend staying in Brooklyn. It's such an interesting location compared to most and great for all those wonderful coffee bars!!! :)
Christiana's flat was smaller than the pictures made out but nether the less we felt safe. The bed was incredibly comfortable and fresh towels were waiting for us on our arrival.
Only let down??? The bathtub had little bugs in it every morning - not sure where those came from??? and the water took a while to heat up.
Apart from this, we very much enjoyed our time there.
