This was perfect for our visit to Brooklyn: spacious, stylish, and perfectly located near my son's apartment and Prospect Park. The kitchen is huge and well equipped, and Ildiko thoughtfully provided hummus, Brie, and crackers for us on arrival. Great shower and strong wifi (both important to me). Easy access (no need to schlep suitcases up flights of stairs). Mattress is firm - fine with me but a matter of personal taste. It's queen size and there is a futon if you have a kid or friend along. In summer there is a garden in the rear that would be a pleasant place to enjoy the outdoors in the heart of Brooklyn but away from the hustle and bustle. Numerous shops, delis, restaurants, coffee shops, and groceries within a short walk. We didn't use the TV or sound system (there is a library of CDs) but might do so on another visit - they are a great amenity, as is the library of books on music and art.
