Why stay in Manhattan when you can experience the wonderful community atmosphere of Fort Greene in Brooklyn with this apartment as your perfect place to make your base. Firstly, it is spacious, stylish and comfortable in its furnishings and immaculately clean. The bedroom is at the back, overlooking gardens, so is peaceful and quiet. Rysia pays close attention to every detail (kitchenware, lots of towels, plenty of pillows, etc.) so that whatever you need is ready to hand. In advance of our arrival, we received a friendly welcome and helpful advice regarding transport. The location is excellent for major subway routes (we got all the way up to Harlem from the subway just up the street) and the Long Island Line. Tree-lined South Portland Avenue is conveniently located for shops, cafes, a great bookstore (Greenlight), restaurants, bars, beautiful Fort Greene Park and numerous other facilities. The wider Brooklyn area is fascinating, offering much more of a sense of 'real' New York than many parts of Manhattan, yet it is not at all difficult to access and we were able to pay a few visits to Manhattan cheaply and with ease. We can't recommend this apartment and Rysia's hospitality too highly.
