Stephanie's place was perfect – exactly what a solo traveler or couple would get for a studio suite at a nice hotel with the charm of Brooklyn in an area with lots of character (and therefore no big chain hotels!). I am biased because my boyfriend and I used to live in the neighborhood, but Carroll Gardens is the perfect location whether or not you have been to New York before. The two trains that run in the neighborhood get you easily to Manhattan and other areas of Brooklyn. Tons of great restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and yoga within a few minute walk. Part of me does not want to write this review because I want to keep this gem to myself for our future visits, but the world of AirBnB needs to know! Book it - you won't be disappointed.
