Claire's place has to be in one of the best locations in Brooklyn, minutes walk from all of the best restaurants in the city, loads of great bars nearby yet still nice and quiet. It's close to the subway too, just 20 minutes into Manhattan.
The house has everything you need but the best feature has to be the roof terrace, a huge space which you don't often get in New York, perfect for a group of people to just relax and hang out.
Highly, highly recommended.
