Jessica and Giovanni made us very welcome at their Brownstone in Prospect Heights. Our arrival was far from ideal (8 hour flight from London followed by eldest daughter being sick in an Uber!), but they were very good about helping us get cleaned up and settled in. At the end of a very long day looking after our two young kids, this was very much appreciated!!
The house itself is beautiful, combining period Brownstone charm with modern facilities. It's well located for access to the subway, Prospect Park, various shops and restaurants. Jessica was good enough to send through some recommendations for local sights and amenities in advance which was very useful. General communication before and during our stay was really good.
In summary, I'd highly recommend as a base if you're looking for a taste of this wonderful area!
