The location in Red Hook is great if you are going to bring a car. Parking was easy and there were some great restaurants/stores within three blocks. We brought our kids' bikes and they enjoyed biking down to the Fairway supermarket. If you don't have a car and aren't going to use the citibikes, though, it's a little far from the subway (30-mintue walk). I wish the weather had been a little warmer and we could have enjoyed the patio!
Tom was very accommodating with check-in and check-out was very simple. The apartment had enough space for our 2 kids to play around and, even though there isn't a door to the bedroom, we were able to enjoy talking in the large kitchen while they slept away on the futon and single bed. Really, it's a great layout that we could see ourselves returning to.
