Staying in Brooklyn is a great way to get out of the craziness of Manhattan each day, but still feel close to it all. Brooklyn in itself is a great place to explore and we really enjoyed checking out the different neighbourhoods and in particular the free events offered in Prospect Park, which we wouldn't have experienced if staying in Manhattan. The subway link is a close walk away so getting to things is pretty straight-forward once you get your head around how the lines work (we got a 7-day pass, despite staying only 6 days it was still a great deal). The apartment itself was really clean and full of provisions (toiletries, toilet rolls, clean towels etc) and Timothy was on hand for any questions. The back yard is a great space to enjoy breakfast or an evening drink. We were a family of four, including two teenagers - they were happy to be one of them sleeping in the small single room and the other slept on the bed in the main living space, it all worked out well for us. Timothy was really kind to offer us to extend our check-out time too (without us even asking!) All in all a good place to stay for a trip to New York!
