Timothy's is the perfect place to base yourself when staying in New York. The location is fantastic. The brooklyn locale is a relaxed authentic place, to start or finish the day, after exploring the concrete jungle of manhatten. It is real NY neighbourhood full of a melting pot of cultures. But its also super safe, we often arrived at the subway around midnight and never felt unsafe. So close to Atlantic Ave Station. A couple minutes easy walk. which as a major station will get you to anywhere you want in New york in one ride. The place itself is a basement flat in a super cute brownstone. It's a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures tastefully and thoughtfully decorated with plenty of room for me, my partner and 3 boys. When we arrived Timothy had made the 3 fold out beds for our boys and had a bottle of rose in the fridge for us, a much appreciated touch. There's a pile of reference books to teach you all you need to know about your stay in New York plus a folder from Timothy sharing his local knowledge. The beds were great with a cupboard holding plenty of extra bedding if needed. The bathroom was clean and was well stocked with soaps, shampoos toilet paper etc. There was a pile of towels for us with more in a drawer. The kitchen is fantastic with double door fridge full oven and well stocked cupboards. A back door leads to a tranquil garden space which was an oasis in which to relax. It was also very quiet day and night which is no mean feat in the city that never sleeps. If we are lucky enough to visit NYC again we will be staying at Timothy's.
