Julia's home is about as centrally located to everything in the area as I could imagine, whether the train stop, Prospect Park, playgrounds or the 150 places to eat in the area, while still being on a very quiet spot. Getting in and out of the apartment is easy and straightforward, there is a ton of space and enough separation to hide a napping kid while still enjoying a meal (or running a load of laundry! Real laundry!). It's also lovely inside and although Julia was out of town, she was super kind and quick to respond.
Exploring Brooklyn all day with a small kid in a heat wave is usually a recipe for disaster, but Julia's home made it easy and relaxing, and at least while we were inside, it felt like the rest of the city.
