Our stay at Gideon's was perfect for our purpose of being close to family on 1st Place. We enjoyed walks to Prospect Park and to the Brooklyn Bridge Park with easy access to water taxis for a short ride to Manhattan. The subway is close by as well. We felt safe walking the neighborhoods and enjoyed the proximity of restaurants, coffee shops and stores. The apartment was comfortable and clean, and Gideon made it known that he was available should we have any questions, or need any help.
