Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn is our favorite neighborhood in NYC. Stay here and live like a local! The F train is a few blocks away and will get you anywhere you want to go in NYC, but really, who wants to even leave Carroll Gardens? Evelyn's apartment is a dream. Oh how I wish I lived there permanently! The interior design is gorgeous. I was obsessed with the espresso/cappuccino maker (milk foamer too!) and that she left us with espresso pods for that. Also she has a piano! And I'm so surprised no-one has mentioned the beautiful modern bathroom has a bidet built into the toilet! It was perfect for my husband and I, and my 6 year old and 3 year old. They each took a bed in the living room, and we got the big bed in the back.
