Our family LOVED staying at Howard's place in Brooklyn! Their family is so wonderful and accommodating! As soon as we arrived, Howard greeted us at the entrance and gave us a tour around the apartment. His wife also made the effort to say hi later. They also gave us tons of recommendations for places to go and eat, as well as transportation which was very helpful! It made us feel more like a local, and saved us some money! The location is also very nice, the streets with the historic buildings are gorgeous, and gave a European vibe which we loved. It's also a very safe neighbourhood, within walking distance to multiple subway stations, where you can get to most places within 10-20 minutes! The place was also stocked with everything you could need, and super spacious, especially for New York! It kept us very warm in the Winter weather too. The list of pros go on- but I really recommend this place if you're looking for a place in New York!
