This is such a perfect apartment. It’s stylish, fully equipped and in a wonderful neighbourhood. We spent the first half of our New York trip in a hotel in Tribeca, which was great but we enjoyed Mia’s apartment so much more. We slept really well in the super comfy bed and enjoyed reading over leisurely breakfasts in the gloriously light filled kitchen. During the day it was quick and convenient travelling by subway into Manhattan (about 30 mins ish) and we were easily able to fit sightseeing in to our more relaxed days. The local restaurants are varied and great quality and there are good stores to purchase items if you want to self cater. Saraghina’s little deli has everything you need for fabulous breakfasts - terrific granola, bread, yoghurts, coffee. We went there in the evening as well for cocktails and pizza - great atmosphere and food.
Our top tip would be to make time to visit Bar LunÀtico (about 15 minute walk away). They have amazing live music every night. By chance we saw Madeleine Peyroux on a regular Sunday evening - warming up for her world tour - in a tiny bar, where they pass a hat round to collect the fee for the musicians - magical!
I had high hopes for this visit and the accommodation and location easily lived up to them. Have recommended to all my friends and family. If you want a taste of Brooklyn this has to be one of the best places in the city.
