My girlfriend, our two friends and I stayed at MarQuerite's apartment for five days late December. Her place is all we could've asked for. The apartment is clean, cosy, well equipped and located in a beautiful house that David and MarQuerite seem to take very good care of. What a lovely family they are ! There two adorable kids made us miss ours who stayed home during our trip to NYC. And should we go back again we wouldn't hesitate to go at MarQuerite's once more. The bus at the corner takes you to the 2 or 5 train in minutes. For an authentic Brooklyn experience, you can also hop on one of those numerous black cabs on Church street. You'll met local people already in the taxi. The driver will take you to the nearest subway station for a ridiculous 2 dollars fee. Cheaper than the bus. On the food issue, MarQuerite and David know what they are talking about and they will give you incredible tips. We followed a few of there countless recommendations and we are very happy we did. This place is a must !
