This is a great place for a couple or family of 4. We loved the local neighborhood. We tried Dekalb market recommended by Stephen and some of the local restaurants. There is a grocery store about 2 minutes walk away too. You can reach the nearest subway station in about 5 minutes where you can get to Manhattan and the Financial District very easily. You can also walk down to the piers and towards Brooklyn Bridge in about 15-20 minutes. There is a great view of the city from there. We tried Time Out Market near Brooklyn Bridge. There are some great places to eat and you can sit watching the skyline! Stephen’s place is really comfortable. Great bed too which you will need after a tiring day sightseeing! Stephen is very friendly and welcoming and can give you some very good recommendations! There are some discounter sneaker shops nearby too. Much cheaper than in the city. We would love to stay again if we ever come back to New York.
