We stayed at David and Meryl's "bottom floor of Brownstone" flat with our two young boys for a long weekend. It was not difficult to park right in front. It is about 10-15 minutes walking to a couple subway lines. The flat is reasonably furnished and clean, with a sofa-bed in the living room. Everything we needed was there (dish soap, hand soap, shampoo, towels, toilet paper, etc.) It is great to have access to a backyard. Having a full apartment really changes the way to travel with kids, so you can hang out after they are in bed.

I have to say it is not the most exciting neighboorhood in Brooklyn, but we still really liked our stay. Lots of parks and families, and we found people are really friendly. I was reading all kinds of things about Bedford-Stuyvesant (not the safest) before we went and it is true it has changed a lot in the last 5 years, for the better. We felt completely safe during the day, I cannot say for the night though.

Communication was a bit erratic, but we could sort everything out.

Overall I would definitely go there again, the experience was mostly positive and I recommend it.
