This was a great place to stay! First the owners: Nicole and Chacon, they are such loving and caring people. You feel at home immediately. The combination of them makes Noon: a wonderful boy.
Than the appartement: a very unique place, with beautiful paintings and personal accents. A big bedroom with enough cabinets, a study with a couch, a nice living room with kitchen. For a Dutch woman like me, with a niece who loves cooking, a bit small, but we managed.
The house is in a quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn: Bedford-Stuyvesant. Not the most exciting part, but I liked the silence, at day and night. Walk through the Lewis Avenue and you see several nice restaurants on your way back from the A train. And a green market with tasty take away meals.
The distance to the several trains is about 15 - 20 minutes by feet. There are lots of buses, but you can't rely on them.But, if you aren't in a hurry they are perfect. The last day of my stay I find out the possibility to rent a bike from neighbors!
The M train was my favorite: within 15-20 minutes you are in L.E.S. or near the MoMa and Central Park.
Don't forget the museums in Brooklyn: the Brooklyn Museum, the Noguchi Museum, MoMa PSi (more interesting and relaxed than its big brother, I think), and the Queens Museum.
But the greatest and most interesting museum are the streets of Brooklyn. And all those different communities with their own atmosphere. I love it!
And if you have any question, Nicole answers immediately - we had great fun. And Chacon fixed the minor things at once.
I miss those people, the apartment and the streets of Brooklyn.
