We ( family of four) really enjoyed our time in New York and Robin and Bob's place is well located for discovering Manhattan and of course Brooklyn.
The nearest subway is 10 minutes walk and you can be in the Centre of town within in 20 minutes. We also spent a lot of time walking around Brooklyn and eating at the fine selection of restaurants that are within walking distance of the apartment. Overall, a great apartment and one we would stay in again without any hesitation.
