Hi travellers,
Andre's apartment is really spacious and part of a grand old house in Brooklyn. There is a supermarket around the corner and tge subway into Manhattan is only a short walk. You have the option of catching the local 3 at Kingston Ave station or, with a walk of a couple of extra blocks, the express A from Utica Ave. We had no concerns with the neighborhood and arrived home late pin several nights. There was an added bonus of Molly the cat spending time with us during our stay as well. Make sure you check out nearby Prospect Park during your stay - it's stunning.
Regards, Brett & Lea
