Dora's apartment is well located, close to a subway station in Brooklyn. It takes only little more than 10 minutes to go to Manhattan. Dora is communicating very well and check-was without any problem. The apartment itself is very basic but everything is there. Generally, there is nothing that is hampering a pleasant stay. Having said this, I unfortunately have to add that the apartment, as we discovered it as a family, needs a very thorough cleaning. We are not picky but the kids had really black soles from running around in the apartment and there are definitely some corners that were missed during the last cleaning. If this would be ameliorated, Dora's apartment would be a real hit!
