The apartment is spacious and well-equipped. It’s in a safe, vibrant and ethically diverse neighbourhood close to supermarkets, shops and restaurants and within walking distance to Dumbo and the walkways across Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges to downtown Manhattan. Subway stations are also in the vicinity, reachable within 20 minutes on foot.
If you stay for longer and want to explore further, as we did, it might be handy to rent a car and drop it off at the airport, avoiding lengthy train rides and solving the problem where to keep your luggage. We rented at Budget in 333 Adams St for a reasonable fee and dropped off at JFK, which we can only recommend.
Denise and Rich’s flat in Brooklyn is in a good part of town to stay and a good base to discover NY - not only the sights but also its people.
