We enjoyed our stay. Angus was friendly and informative, very responsive to questions and issues. Gave us plenty of suggestions on where to eat and how to get around. The houseboat isn't a huge space, but serves as an excellent antidote to the pace and noise of Manhattan. There's lots to explore in Brooklyn too. The Cherry Hill Market was a really excellent deli on Emmon, that warranted diversions most days on the way back from visiting the City to pick up an evening dessert. The Knapp Street Bagel was good place to pick up breakfast. Lisa kindly organized 2 sit-on-top kayaks so we were able to explore the inlet. We walked to the subway, took about 20 minutes along Emmon. The B4 bus comes every 20 mins, but doesn't follow the same route there and back. Free parking immediately next to the houseboat with no problems.
