The host sent us messages while we were on our way to ensure that we were met at arrival. We did circle for approximately 20 minutes before finding a parking spot but found one on the same street as the apt and was able to leave it there for the weekend while we took the subway into the city each day. We traveled with our 5 and 3 year old and they even called our plead their "new home" and didn't want to leave. Mila, our 3 year old really took to the stuffed Tigger so we may need to find one for her from Santa ;) the umbrella stroller was a lifesaver as we traveled around being tourists. We were able to get to Times Square in approximately 20-25 minutes and to Wall Street to visit 9/11 memorial in about the same amount of time. We have already recommended your place to family members and plan on returning in the spring/ summer. Your place was the perfect spot to truly feel like you lived in Brooklyn, even for the weekend. Thank you again for your hospitality.
