Julie's home is hands down the best rental our family has ever stayed! The description and photos of the home are accurate, however it's even more impressive in-person. The house is newly updated with wonderful finishes throughout and a kitchen that's out of a magazine. We traveled with our two young daughters (2 years and 4 months) and it was a perfect setup for our family, with more than enough room for everyone to relax, cook dinners, play with toys, and enjoy outdoor space. When stepping outside, we were surrounded by the best of Brooklyn, with everything we needed within a short walk. We really enjoyed exploring the local food marts, cafes and shops, but the best part was being so close to Prospect Park where we ended up spending the warm summer days, visiting the zoo, splash pad, playgrounds and exploring the woods. When we wanted to venture a bit further, we had easy access to direct subway routes into Manhattan (though we never needed to cross the river). Beyond all this, Julie was fantastic to work with leading up to and during our stay. A consummate host who went the extra mile to provide a a portable baby crib, and plenty of age appropriate toys to keep our kiddos entertained. Despite being on vacation herself, she made sure to check-in to ensure all our needs were taken care of, and answer questions about how to work things in the house. Totally above and beyond. If we are ever so lucky to spend two weeks in Brooklyn again, Julie will be the first person I contact. Thanks for making our stay a truly memorable one, Julie :)
