Photos and Description of the Brooklyn vacation townhome rental Spacious Floor of Townhouse, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, Sleeps 7!

The MACON MANOR is celebrating its 102nd year (1907-2009) on this safe, quiet, tree-lined, neighborly block, just steps away from the best the Neighborhood has to offer. It still retains most of its original details, and it has undergone painstaking renovations to preserve its charm and architectural integrity. The Home is easily accessible via car and several forms of public transportation. Many of Brooklyn’s hottest neighborhoods are within 5-15 minutes, and Manhattan is less than 15 minutes away via the “A” Express train. Whether you are coming to the US to spend some of those cheap American Dollars, or you live nearby and have more out-of-town guests than you can fit, or you just need to get away for a while, these Apartments offer a taste of Authentic Brooklyn Living in a convenient, cozy, homelike environment at substantial savings over other accommodations.

As you may have read in New York Magazine, Time Out New York, the New York Times, and other such publications, Stuyvesant Heights (the Historic District within the larger Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn) – known worldwide for its magnificent architecture, tree-lined blocks, flourishing community gardens, and as home to such significant cultural figures as Lena Horne, Max Roach, Chris Rock, Eubie Blake, Shirley Chisholm, and countless others – is in the flowering of a new cultural and commercial renaissance. Shops, restaurants, boutiques, galleries and cafés are popping up faster than one can keep up with, and there is an influx of new residents who are turning this historically Black community into a truly diverse enclave of progressive people of all backgrounds. Despite this tremendous transformation, however, it maintains a charm that can be experienced by strolling down one of its many quiet, safe, leafy, beautiful blocks. Manhattan is less than 15 min. away via 'A' Exp

Loved every minute of it!

Mark and Margaret Sydney, Australia
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Three of our children stayed in Apartment 2 at Macon Manor for a week in early July 2009 and loved every minute of it. My twin daughters and three of their girlfriends, all 17-year-old school students from Sydney, Australia, had my 27-year-old son and his wife with them. They all thought the Apartment, its facilities and location were excellent. Everything to do with the rental was easily done and the neighbourhood was safe, convenient, interesting and very friendly. Top marks for great accommodation which offered full value for money.

Memorial Day 2009

Kinthia Warner Robins
Review Submitted: May 27, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My best friend and I stayed in True's apartment for Memorial Day Weekend 2009. We found the apartment to be very clean and spacious. True was an excellent host and the neighborhood was both gorgeous and safe! The nearby Breadystuy cafe was cozy and they make an excellent french vanilla latte.

Really VERY VERY NICE! We had a GREAT time!

Jim & Sarah Los Angeles, CA
Review Submitted: September 25, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We had actually stayed in TRUE (the owner's) other apartment back in July, and we had such a great experience we decided to try out this apartment on this visit.

We truly had a wonderful experience. The home is lovely, the apartment was very tastefully decorated, and filled with quality books, a DVD library, and really nice original art. It's very comfy and spacious -- we could have easily fit another 5 people (last time we brought our kids, this time it was just the 2 of us -- we had more than enough room). It was also surprisingly quiet -- most times all we could hear were the leaves rustling on the trees and birds singing.

The neighborhood is really nice -- trees and flowers and beautiful houses everywhere you look. We learned from our last visit that we didn't need a car, so this time we took the subway to get into Manhattan, and did a lot of walking around the neighborhood to explore the various shops, boutiques, galleries & cafes (try "Peaches" and "Bread Stuy," our 2 favorite local eateries).

The subway station is only a few minutes walk away, and we felt safe enough to take the train at all times. The train is express, so we were able to get to Chinatown and the West Village in under 20 minutes, and Broadway in about 30!

We could go on and on...we just love Macon Manor, and we'll be staying there on our next visit!
