Alia was very welcoming and the apartment was great. She was quickly responsive any time I had to get in touch with her.

The apartment is very close to the subway (about 3 blocks). It takes about 45 minutes on the subway to get to Manhattan. I stayed with my 2 teenage kids and there was plenty of room. It was nice to have a kitchen while traveling with a 15 year-old boy.

We drove to New York. I was able to find parking every day. It was much easier to park in Crown Heights than in the other parts of Brooklyn we visited. However, there is frequent street cleaning so if you bring a car you will need to move it several times. I reparked 3 times during the week we were there. The first time it took me almost 30 minutes to find a spot after learning the neighborhood I was able to find a spot much more quickly.

My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was nice to be able to spend the days in Manhattan and the evenings in neighborhood with a bit more space. Thanks, Alia.
