Just back from a week in Brooklyn at Dawn’s apartment. The apartment was great, really spacious and had everything we needed. We didn’t manage to meet Dawn but her Dad downstairs was friendly and helpful.
It was a good base for Manhattan and Brooklyn, a little bit further out than would have been ideal, about an hour to central Manhattan (but we knew that) there wasn’t really anywhere to go in the evening locally but it wasn’t too far in a taxi to find bars and restaurants. We were a little worried walking back from the subway at night but only really just around the subway station, the rest of the area was fine and we had no problems.
The weekly metro card for $33 dollars covering subway and buses was great value.
We had a fantastic time. Thank you Dawn
