This is a lovely family-style apartment in a rising Brooklyn neighborhood. Roomier, and much better appointed, than most NY apartments, it was a great place to spend two weeks working in the city. The apartment is several blocks from 3 different subway lines; it takes about 40 minutes to get to midtown, 20 minutes to downtown Brooklyn. It is easy to get to Prospect Park and its related neighborhoods, which are chockful of restaurants and interesting shops. Toni is a clear and thorough communicator and a great host. But this is her home; she expect you to treat it like that.
