I had a wonderful stay at Halsey Haven. If you want to stay in a more authentic area of Brooklyn this is a great option. I really felt like I was staying with relatives yet I had the whole place to myself. It was very close to my friends and family yet allowed me the freedom to come and go as I pleased. The apartment is very chic and modern, super clean, yet very homey. Gretchen, the hostess, is so caring and attentive. My flight into NY was delayed and then grounded for hours. Gretchen contacted me throughout that night to make sure I was safe, assure me that my reservation was still okay, and that everything would be fine once I arrived. Once I finally got there, everything was superb. She is an awesome hostess and I plan to stay there again.
