Caroline's place is spotlessly clean with all the necessary amenities. The location in Brooklyn was perfect for us (visiting residents of Brooklyn) but might be a bit far out for those wanting to take in the sites in Manhattan. We went in to Manhattan for museums and a show, but it was a 30-45 minute subway ride. The first floor location was a great plus if you would prefer not to deal with too many stairs (exterior stairs to the front door only). The entire apartment appeared to be recently renovated and had everything we needed.
