we, family of 4 with 2 daugthers 14 & 17, had a tremendous time during our stay of 5 days in the apartment of Richelle and Pela, on the top floor of their beautiful house, with is very well equipped and clean.

Richelle took really good care of us, a well stock fridge upon arrival, cookies, coffee, cereals, etc. As she heard our eldest daughter eats gluten free, within half an our she called 3 restaurants in the neighbourhood and provide us with the adresses. she suprised us with lovely treads during the week and when we were leaving even gluten free cookies ! She also arranged a taxi to bring us back to JFK. Thanks Richelle, you did a marvellous job to let us feel comfortable and welcome in your house ! No noise from outside,so, really quiet, a big difference with the crazyness of Manhattan.

The subway is an easy and nice 10 min. stroll. We always felt save walking there, also at 11 pm when we came back from downtown NY. It takes a further 20/25 minutes to reach Manhattan via the A/C-line.

The neighbourhood is pretty, with a lot of characteristic brownstone buildings, and enough restaurants en small shops for some basic groceries etc. In Brooklyn is also a lot to see en do (Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, Park, Bridge, Museum and Dumbo) not enough time to see everything, so a good reason to come back later, and of course, stay again at Richelle and Pela !
