We stayed at Shannon and Dahrehn's place located in Clinton Hill for 8 nights and the place suited our little family of three just perfectly. The apartment was clean, the beds/sofabed were comfy, the decor was modern and the kitchen was well equipped, so we could make dinner or breakfast if we did not go to one of the cafés or restaurant in the neighborhood for a meal - don't miss out on the coffee and omelets at Choice Greene.
The apartment is located very close to the subway which makes it a easy to head for Manhattan or other parts of Brooklyn and cafes, restaurants and grocery stores are basically located right at the doorstep. We especially enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere to return to after a long day of exploring around the city.
In the area or only a few subway stations away you also find parks and playgrounds which our daughter enjoyed since the hassle of NY can get too much for a seven-year-old! We especially enjoyed the park behind the Children's Museum at Brooklyn av. and Brooklyn Bridge Park!
We met Dahrehn briefly and he was so kind to call us a private taxi for the drive back to the airport, since we did not have an american sim-card so we could call ourselves.
Thanx Shannon and Dahrehn for a lovely stay...we would not hesitate to come back for another in the future.
Christa, Christian and Liva
