Great base for Manhattan and Brooklyn (and please do make the most of the chance to explore Brooklyn!) - the Q goes/connects with pretty much anything and the basement flat is just 5mins from Parkside Ave Stn. As a family of four it worked great, plenty of space and Netflix for the kids in the evening when we got home after a long day out (that and jerk chicken from Camille's...) - visit Bushwick, run in the Park, pizza in Dunno - all good 👍
