This was a great place to stay and explore Brooklyn and NYC.
The house itself is, as others have mentioned, basic, but good as a home base. We could cook and enjoy family meals, with enough kitchen equipment, table space and chairs. Nicola was very responsive and couple of small issues were resolved quickly and well. The local laundromat was close and easy-to-use, and I even found a wash card for it in the kitchen.
The area around the house is lovely - being unfamiliar with Brooklyn except by (probably old) reputation that was one of the things we were concerned about with kids. But we needn’t have worried. It had a lovely feel, and plenty of parents around. There’s a good choice of restaurants and cafes around. Transport to Manhattan was easy enough, but with a pleasant 10-ish minute walk from the station. Even at night, that wasn’t a problem.
I’d definitely be happy to stay there again if we’re back. Thanks, Nicole!
