We travelled to New York from the UK and Australia as a group of 8 (six adults and two children) and Cassandra’s place was perfect for us. The house was warm, the beds were very comfortable, there were games for the kids, the kitchen was great and the decor was fun and inviting. The only thing we missed was a kettle for cups of tea but that’s ok - we just boiled water in a pan on the stove. The subway stop was just around the corner so access to Manhattan was easy (about 40mins) and it was nice to experience a real Brooklyn neighbourhood rather than be in a more touristy area. We shopped for food locally and there were take out food places within a few blocks walk. We thank Cassandra for providing such a great base for our New York experience.
