This was such a great spot for our family to enjoy all that Brooklyn and NYC has to offer. The unit itself is just as nice as the pictures looked online. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe feeling, but it is right in the heart of great dining and activities. Our school-aged children loved walking around the corner to get bagels or other food. We all appreciated the nearby parks and playgrounds.
A short walk will get you to the Brooklyn Museum, Botanical Gardens, Prospect Park and Zoo, Children's Museum, and Barclay's Center. There are several subway stations within a few block radius which meant we could get into the city with ease (30 minutes door to door to the Statue of Liberty ferry and Times Square) and our kids loved that experience. Uber would have been about $30 for those trips and taken about the same amount of time.
The beds were comfortable (including the pack n play provided and the pullout couch in the living room), the kitchen is gorgeous, the bathroom is bright and clean, and the washer/dryer were great to have available.
The hostess was very friendly and communicative throughout the booking, check in, and right up until we left. She went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed to enjoy the unit and the neighborhood. She lives with her family upstairs, so the noises filter through from above occasionally but the unit feels private and very much like your own home away from home.
