My wife, 6yr old daughter and I spent 4 nights in this true home away from home in Jan 2014, It was wonderful to have the space that we Aussies are used to – large bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms (even a bath). Top floor of a 3 floor brownstone - very quiet. So close to the subway, parks and some of the best restaurants in Brooklyn! The apartment just made you feel relaxed. Leo and Claudia were great hosts – responding to every question with a wonderful smile and tremendous advice. Fort Green is not as hip as Williamsburg (which is a good thing) or as ‘gentrified’ as Carroll Gardens (two other areas we stayed in) but gave us a sense of the ‘real’ Brooklyn and we loved it. Met all our must haves – location, safety, space and helpful hosts. Would definitely recommend.
