In planning my once only trip to NYC, I started with accommodation in Manhattan but Manhattan is just too expensive. So I moved further afield and found this AirBnb.
I am glad I did as it gave us an opportunity to enjoy more than Manhattan (and stay in an apartment rather than a hotel). We ‘lived’ in an upmarket NYC suburb for 10 days. Park Slope is a buzzy environment, beautiful brownstones, shops and restaurants. I would want to live here if I lived in NYC.
As we were here for 10 days we spent a few days doing Brooklyn things.
But you can still enjoy Manhattan and we spent most of our time here.
The apartment is just 100 yards from the subwayentrance (F line) which goes to the centre of Manhattan (30 minutes to Times Square)
The apartment is very comfortable with good space. Whilst on a busy street there was no noise especially in the rear bedroom.
The only minor issue was that the floors are old. The boards in the apartment creak and you can hear footsteps from the floor above. This was irrelevant to us.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
