We really enjoyed our stay in Brooklyn! The appartment is very spacious and super clean. Our kids also enjoyed running around in the yard every morning before heading into the city. The Subway station is a 10 min walk and gets you into Manhattan in about 30mins. As described very well by Shanti and Dai the neighbourhood is a little rough around the edges, but we kind of liked seeing this site of NYC as well. Shanti and Dai were very nice and helpful!
