My family and I (wife, 4 month old baby, dog) stayed in Valery's duplex apartment for two weeks. I was in New York for work, and we were visiting family in the area. Everything about Valery's place was amazing. It's huge, beautiful, and even has a patio in the back. It's steps from the subway, which was great for meetings in Manhattan, and parking wasn't too difficult, compared to other New York neighborhoods. There is a lot to explore nearby...Prospect Park, Prospect Heights, Park Slope, etc. There are restaurants all over, but we also ate in a lot. There are several grocery stores in walking distance, and the kitchen was more than ample for us.

I would recommend this place to anyone, but especially to families. We've lived in a few ares in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and we've done summer sublets a couple of times before. Nothing has come close to this place, especially at this price. And Valery is very friendly, helpful, and has a super cute toddler. Highly, highly recommended.
