Location: Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA (30 min's to JFK a. La Guardia airports,15 min's to Manhattan)
Accommodations: Apartment, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 5-8)
This newly renovated 3-bedroom second-floor apartment (ca. 1000 sq.ft) with 2 full bath rooms is located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NY. Hardwood floors and original detail in this 100-yr-old limestone house provide for a comfortable 'home away from home’ for up to eight people (average occupancy is family of five).
Sunset Park Vacation Home is located on 40th Street btw 6th and 7th Aves in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park. Our street is in the middle of a down-to-earth residential and family-oriented neighborhood with a convenience store and a Laundromat on one end and another convenience store on the other end (1 min walk each), a pizza place is around the corner across from the park (2 min’s). 5th Ave is the closest commercial street (3 min walk) with stores and a lot of predominantly Mexican restaurants, bakeries and a big supermarket (5 – 10 min’s). In the other direction 8th Ave is the commercial center of a huge China Town with lots of inexpensive Chinese, a few Vietnamese, Korean, Thai and Japanese restaurants. We get great dumplings, salad rolls, Pad Thai’s and more there, most deliver very fast.
All in all, though it is not a high-end dining area there is a surprising level of diversity to be found reflecting our diverse and very ‘Brooklyn’ neighborhood, and for breakfast and regular food everything is within short walking distance (the Sunset Park Diner is an American diner right on the corner of 5th Ave/39th St, a 5 min’s walk).
Sunset Park is the southern extension of Park Slope, one of Brooklyn’s most attractive areas with restaurants, cafés and shopping(5 min's by subway).
The apartment is a one-minute, one-block walk from Sunset Park, a park with public basket ball courts, chess board tables, a large playground, a summer outdoor sprinkler and - a particular bonus in tropical Brooklyn - one of this borough's best public outdoor pools (open July/Aug, no admission). Brooklyn communal life in a safe environment with a spectacular view of Manhattan and the waterway leading up to it. Sunsets a specialty.
Very convenient commute to Manhattan (5-10 min walk to subway, N, D express-trains 10 min's to Union Square, local R and M trains 5 min’s to Pk Slope).
We ask our guests to respect the fact that SPVH is a private residence and to keep noise to a minimum. No parties, no smoking (including stoops and side walk in front of the house).
Languages spoken (aside from English): German, Français (un petit peut)
check-in 3pm, check-out 11am.
There is a $ 75 cleaning fee.
