This is a spectacular flat. We’ve been to NYC before but this is such a lovely area. It’s not in the middle of all the tourist spots so you get to see authentic bars, restaurants and bakeries. We loved the short walk to the ferry (download the app it’s fab) and it’s about a 10 min walk to the station (Broadway) from here you’re 20 mins into the city and can ride all the way without changing to Coney Island. The views are spectacular, the terrace is beautiful but was too hot for us to stay for too long at the beginning of July. The bed is comfy, there’s virgin, Vadim leaves a welcome package of some fresh groceries which is a lovely touch.
Buy the weekly metro pass, only from a machine - do not give anyone else money, and the city is yours.
We got a taxi from Manhattan to the flat and it only came to $18(Uber) so even after a full on day it’s easy to get back. I’d recommend spending an evening at the local pubs and restaurants along Broadway. They have happy hour from 4-7pm and the food is crazy good.
Can’t wait to return!
