We spent a wonderful month in Tiffany’s home in Pacific Street and it was perfect. Four stops on the subway from the tourist bustle of Manhattan but also right in the middle of Brooklyn and all that it has to offer.
489 Pacific street is well suited for a family of five - our two little ones slept in the bunk beds and our eldest was in the middle bedroom. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and all the aircons and fans were working - which was very important in the heat.
Downstairs the lounge was spacious and we used the extra air bed a few times when we had guests, the kitchen had all the mod cons (including a fridge with an ice dispenser which was a big hit!) and the communal garden was excellent. Big treehouse and trampoline and the kids enjoyed playing with the next door neighbour’s children.
Boerum hill & Brooklyn was a revelation - lots to do and very relaxed. Lots of amenities close by - Whole Foods and Target. The subway is one block away and once we worked it out we discovered Coney Island and Brooklyn Bridge Park. We can highly recommend Smorgasburg in Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Farmacy. And the Hollow Nickel round the corner became our local for the month.
Tiffany was always on hand for advice and left a lot of guidance for our stay. The place was safe and comfortable and very New York! We will always think of 489 Pacific Street as our “Brooklyn home” and we were very sad to say goodbye.
