This was an absolutely beautiful space on a very convenient, yet quiet, street. You can get any subway line right up the road at Atlantic Terminal to hop over to Manhattan. We chose to stay in the area and enjoy all the shops, restaurants, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum and the Transit Museum. We were traveling with a two-year-old and found the experience to be child-friendly: playground around the corner, Walgreen's down the street, parks, full kitchen, back patio space, and Pack N Play provided! This area as well as neighboring Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights are very accommodating to little ones.
