Great apartment in a great location. We do a yearly NYC Christmas trip and this was the first time we stayed in Brooklyn... Here's a few recommendations from an out-of-towner: We parked about 3 blocks away (504 Myrtle) in a garage that was very decently priced for 24 hour parking. Two coffee shops are located steps away which was super convenient in the mornings. We walked to the Rustik Tavern for brunch and it was phenomenal. We used the train to get to Manhattan (recommend taking G and connecting to A or C) and it was very easy and cheap! I don't recommend ubering from Manhattan back to the apt - it gets very expensive. If you can't get the train taxi is better. We did uber to the Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO which are def worth checking out at least for pictures. Would def recommend Curtis's place for a large family. We had 7 people and brought an air mattress with us so that the 7th person didn't have to sleep on the couch and the apartment was very comfortable for that.
