We enjoyed our stay at Hadar's place in Brooklyn. The apartment is comfortable and very spacious, though a bit old (but you have to expect this in this particular location) and not very sunny as it faces North. It can fit a family of four without any problem. Communication with our hosts, Hadar and Kath, was very easy and they were helpful when we had to ask them something. The apartment's location is excellent, just across a subway station, with all services nearby and in front of this wonderful Prospect Park we discovered and enjoyed so much during our stay -- the kids as much as us. Free street parking is available in the neighbourhood. It is a bit tricky, but in the end we always managed to find a spot not too far. Commute to Manhattan and other parts of the city by subway is safe and efficient (once you figure out how works the NY subway system). Flatbush Avenue, the main commercial street nearby, may not be the trendiest place at this particular corner, but you can still find good restos at walking distance if you search a bit. Overall, this apartment is a sure bet if you want to have a great and relatively affordable family vacation in New York City.
