I am John, Rebecca's father who also stayed at this Air BnB. We stayed there as a family over 19 nights - firstly two of my daughters, then two daughters and I, then a daughter and I. It allowed us to have a have a family Christmas wits my son and daughter-In-law who live in NY. It was most economical, was less than a block from a mid-Manhattan subway line, two blocks from a Lower Manhattan line, and within easy walking distance of others, including Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Centre, where other subway lines, including one to the JFK Airport, and further east on Long Island. There are plentiful buses.
The apartment has a suitably-equipped kitchen for longer stays, is close to supermarkets, coffee shops, eateries, large and small shops, specialty and general, a few minutes walk from nearby Prospect Park and Brooklyn Museum, and nearby localities such as Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, and Brooklyn Heights. It is suitable for any season.
While the apartment is on the second of three floors And fronts Park Place, street and other external noise was minimal.
Any guest wanting a good doughnut walk along Flatbush Avenue to about Bergen Street and visit the Doughnut Plant, select from the wide range, and have it with a coffee. Joyce Bakehouse on Vanderbilt and Park Place also,recommended as is Tom's On Washington Avenue for breakfast.
