This place was just perfect for our trip to NYC with our two boys (13 and 10). The spot is great - really close to Brooklyn’s parks and the amazing views of Manhattan (we loved the evening strolls along the dock) yet still only a block or two from the subway. It is really well connected for all the sights. We loved being able to Barbecue on the Balcony.

As well as the location, the apartment is really lovely and pretty big. It is tastefully decorated and well appointed. There is everything and more that you could need to be comfortable - lots of kitchen stuff, TV, fast WiFi etc. It is really clean and feels like a bit of luxury compared to some of the NYC hotels we have stayed in in the past.

Dikla made us feel very welcome and we had no cause to be in touch during our time there as everything went smoothly. We felt safe in the neighbourhood, despite being used to very different cities in the UK. You don’t have to go far from DUMBO to feel less secure, though. I parked 6-7 blocks away nearer Jay St. Metrotech and it felt quite different there. We wished we had dropped the car off at the airport and made our way in by train, as parking nearby was difficult. While there is free on street parking, it is highly competitive and we didn’t manage to get a space on several prolonged efforts. We were also not aware of the rule prohibiting parking by fire hydrants - were lucky not to be ticketed.

There are plenty of valet parking lots nearby, but these are really expensive if you drive in ($32/24h). They can be pre-booked via ParkWhiz, which made finding a cheap place much easier (<$20/24h). We used a place on Gold street, which seemed secure enough and the car was looked after.

We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for making our stay so special.
