We had a wonderful time in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The appartement was perfect for our 10 days of holidays. We had a warm welcome (everything was explained to us, from how to get a cab to how to deal with the laundry + there was apples and water in the fridge) and everything was nice and simple. Nicole and her husband are very kind and they asked us regularly how everything was. They also gave us information about what's happening in the city. I definitely recommend this place. Only two things you should know : the subways are 15min walk but you can get 3 different ones that can bring you to different places in Brooklyn and Manhattan. It's between 40min and 1 hour to go to Manhattan (from the appartement) so we left in the morning and didn't came back before night, but that was more than alright. Also the neighborhood is very quiet (especially at night) (no traffic and honks) but sometimes people put some very loud music in the day (and we liked it because we like to dance a bit :) ). We are really glad we chose this sunny place!
