We had an amazing time in this lovely, super clean, and well-furnished Airbnb (great kitchen, WiFi, super comfy beds). Visiting NY as a group of 4 adults we loved coming back to our apartment after a busy day out or strolling the quiet residential streets of Flatbush with its charming houses. We also liked the relaxed and safe neighborhood around Cortelyou Rd. Christopher, Lisa, and Amy were amazing hosts and looked after us throughout our stay. Thanks so much.
There are plenty of local shops for food shopping as well as bagel cafes (Catskill Bagel) and coffee shops to enjoy your morning treat. The Subway stop is within walking distance (4-5min) and takes you to Midtown Manhattan and Time Square within 30-35 minutes or to Coney Island (25 minutes) if you want to see the Ocean and visit Luna Park (go on the Cyclone Roller Coaster). You can also use the Express bus (stop around the corner) to get into lower Manhattan (20 min) which is perfect for attractions in this area, e.g. Wall St, Ground Zero, Staten Island, or the State of Liberty.
Overall, this is a perfect place to stay in New York, and it offers a great opportunity to explore different parts of Brooklyn and Williamsburg more easily. Also, go to Park Slope (5th and 7th Av) for street strolls, coffee, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and consider a visit to Prospect Park.
