I am so glad we rented this downstairs apartment. It was cozy, immaculate, and perfect for our family of four. Husband and I in one bedroom, and two kids (teenage daughter and 11 y/o son) in bunk beds in the other bedroom.
The location: a lovely, quaint Brooklyn neighborhood. Felt very safe. We enjoyed walking the streets lined with brownstones, and stopping in to unique local eateries. Favorites were Mazzola’s Bakery, The Farmacy Soda Shop, and The House of Pizza and Calzone on Union St.
Things to do: We loved Brooklyn Bridge Park! Especially my 11 y/o son. This park is about a 10 minute walk from the apartment, and provides a lovely experience for kids and adults. There are many unique playgrounds and breathtaking views of NYC skyline. Great spot for photos with that amazing backdrop!
Getting into Manhattan:: We did some Uber-ing (all drivers were great- This is definitely the easiest way to get around). We also used the subway. There is subway access on Carroll St.- about 5-10 minute walk from the apartment.
Liat, the owner, was a friendly and accommodating host. Thanks for a great visit to Brooklyn and NYC!
