Tina's apartment, only a short walk from Brooklyn's renowned Prospect Park, was an excellent spot from which to explore some of the major sights of the city and launch trips to New York City as well. Located in a vibrant, ethnically diverse neighborhood, the apartment offered all the essential amenities a traveler might need. While not luxurious, the place was clean, well lighted and furnished quite comfortably. We had the choice of preparing meals in the kitchen or visiting one of the neighborhood's many ethnic restaurants. The subway, less than a five-minute walk from the apartment, took us directly to Manhattan or to a different station where we could transfer to a train headed for other areas of Brooklyn. Especially pleasant was the new "Dumbo" area and its thrilling views of the Brooklyn Bridge; the Botanic Garden; Brooklyn Museum and Academy of Music. But there is much more to see, and we hope to return! If so, we will certainly try to book Tina's place again.
