Great option for your greater New York experience...easy to get to the subway and on to Manhattan, even at rush hour you can get back here without problems. Short distance from some great places to visit in Brooklyn, and Jonathan is a helpful host, offering ideas for activities, food etc. From the airport its a short drive (around 30-45 minutes depending on traffic) and therefore a better price to get there. Jonathan is easy to communicate with and a later arrival was no problem. The apartment itself is very nice, quiet, well decorated and spacious, even with a back patio. The kitchen is a real kitchen with everything you might need. This section of Brooklyn is especially interesting, its a neighborhood that is changing, so you can have your trendy counter culture brunch or go for some authentic soul food and sit on the stoop of a Brownstone. I think its especially good if you are traveling with small children (as I was) Brooklyn Children's Museum is a 15 minute walk. Great stay!
