Livin' the Brooklyn dream here! At least, MY Brooklyn dream, which is admittedly maybe different than others! This is my absolute favorite neighborhood in NYC, and I'm a die hard for the the beautiful old brownstones and their gorgeous old details that are rapidly and horrifyingly disappearing from NYC, one disastrous renovation at a time. As someone who will never be able to afford my own brownstone, I'm so thankful to owners like Alison and Dane who are careful to preserve all the old and imperfect details. It even has an original built-in with old wavy glass! Anyway, even if you're not a sucker for original details, this is a great place to stay. Our 4 year old loved it as much as we did, and having access to a backyard is priceless in Brooklyn. We moved out of Brooklyn this summer and miss it so much. This apartment is the perfect place to get our NYC every few months. :)
