We had a nice stay in Brooklyn. The Flat from Giorgia is clean, quiet, and big enough for two People. It has anything you need for a good time in NY, and that in a good Quality.
It also has an small garden, where i enjoyed my morning coffee :-).
Manhattan is 40min. away, that includes the walk o the next subway.
We enjoyed our stay in Brooklyn and our time in NY very much.
