Superb Living III in Brooklyn

A home away from home

Our family of four from Norway stayed in this apartment for two weeks during Easter 2011 and it was a thrill! We have been to New York several times, but decided for an apartment in a quieter place this time, rather than staying in an hotel in Manhattan as we usually do. We soon got the New York-feel here, and really enjoyed this different kind of vacation. We felt safe during our stay, and it was quite easy to get in touch with people at the coffeeshop and in the restaurants in the neighbourhood. Though the facilities in the apartment are good, we chose to eat out almost every night - most of the time at Peaches which is really awesome, but also sometimes at the pizza place nearby.
We loved the apartment so much, and were impressed by the kindness of Michelle (whom we didn`t meet in person) and her friend who came by one of the first days of our stay. We booked cleaning once during our stay, and this was also terrific. And the bed in the main bedroom is actually as wonderful to sleep in as the beds at Waldorf Astoria!

This is a lovely, lightfilled, spotless brownstone apartment, exactly like the pictures. As previous reviewers have mentioned, the apartment is located a 5 minute walk from the subway and you can be in lower Manhattan in 10-15 minutes. The neighbourhood is quiet and very safe, even at night.
It's a wonderful retreat after a hectic day in Manhattan and comes with a modern kitchen so you have the option of self catering.
Fantastic food and coffee at rustic Italian cafe/restaturant, Saraghina, a 1 minute walk away.
Michelle is very responsive to all enquiries and there is detailed information in the apartment about local transport, supermarkets, laundromats etc.
Brooklyn itself is gorgeous with lots of lovely parks, museums, boutiques and cafes and has a great vibe and loads of lovely and interesting people.

Appartement situé à 2 pas du métro dans un quartier tranquille et typique de Brooklyn.Chambre lumineuse, la salle de bain très propre mériterait un rafraichissement de la baignoire (typique elle aussi ^^)
Nombreux restos sympas dans le coin, supermarché (super Foodtown) à 15 minutes de marche sur Fulton ave et supérettes au coin de la rue.
Nous avons passé avec mon fils de 10 ans et mon mari un agréable séjour. La propriétaire très gentille a été très disponible durant le séjour.
