Spacious, stylish place in a very centralised Brooklyn location. Some nice restaurants and bars within brief walking distance too. Fanny has some very good reccomendations, as do the guide books provided.
Fanny and her family are welcoming but not overbearing - the apartment itself has a very private feel, being just below pavement level and it would feel entirely secluded if not for the age of the building and the noise that carries with two young children upstairs. This was infrequent and didn’t bother me personally but if you are a particularly light sleeper or have daily lie-in’s it may be something to consider. I don’t imagine many people visit Brooklyn to lay in bed all day though.
The decor and space makes the place ideal for couples and duos, 3 adults would fit be comfortably too - however the sofa in the living area is just a little firm for my sleeping taste, as a lone traveller I enjoyed the amount of space but it’s definitely more suited to slightly larger parties.
All in all a great time, i’ll definitely be back.
