We had a great stay here and the sq footage you get verses a hotel is much better value for money. Be aware that you are off the tourist track (which we love) but if thats not what your looking for, you might be surprised. However we enjoyed the Brooklyn botanic gardens and museum near by and a great dinner called Toms just up the road. This is a breakfast must visit. We also found some great shopping on Fulton Street which is just a walk away by the Barclays Centre. Everywhere else we hopped in cabs and the day we used the metro cards we found a great line 3 straight into the Manhattan area.
