PRIME GARDEN APARTMENT IN THE HEART OF FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN

We can only reiterate what has already been said about this lovely apartment. Stayed with my wife and teenage daughter and had great time, didn't meet the owner, but Alan upstairs was very friendly and available to help if needed.
Subway 3 minutes walk, which gets you uptown to Rockerfeller in 20 minutes.
Great local independent restaurants, very close by...Orleas, which does great tapas, literally 40 second stroll. Others to recommend were the smoke joint on Brooklyn Plaza (superb bbq brisket & sides), Chez Lolas on dekalb (varied choice) and even Mullane's Irish grill did excellent great value burgers and had a fine beer selection. In the unlikely event you run out of choice, hop on the G train, 2 stops and your on Smith St in Carroll Gardens, packed with even more bar's and restaurants. Many of the above will be at least a third cheaper than those similar in manhattan and a far more personal touch.
To sum up..Do everything you need to do during the day across the water, but get away from the madness and come home to Fort Greene in the evening, a safe friendly neighbourhood...to which we shall return one day!

We stayed for more than three weeks at Paul's immaculate Brooklyn brownstone with a one year old baby and have only rave reviews for the owners' flexibility, and the home's wonderful location and amenities. We arrived at the height of a NYC winter and found the space cozy and warm. Towels, blankets, pillows in good supply and a lovely kitchen area accommodated all our needs. Didn't really need a car as the subway takes you in any direction you please. The neighborhood has a good vibe- just steps from the Opera and BAM. Local eateries are plentiful. Just can imagine how lovely the patio would be in Spring. Many thanks!

Actions speak louder than words, and our returning to this rental does just that. Repeat business is the surest way to know that what is offered is good quality and value. This well-furnished, comfortable and clean apartment is just as presented on-line. The front bedroom is a walk-through to the second bedroom and to the bathroom, which may be a minor inconvenience, but the back bedroom is totally private. There is a full kitchen if you want to cook or have a family, but with the many fine restaurants in the neighborhood, we mainly used it for coffee and breakfast.
The neighborhood is great. The Fort Greene Farmers Market is just a few blocks away, and the Brooklyn Flea (where fun stuff and great food abounds) is one short block away in season. Subway access is close by as is bus service and much is walking distance away. Olea restaurant is just up the block if you like fresh oysters, and there are many other good restaurants in the neighborhood, with quality food and service at Brooklyn, not Manhattan prices!
We enjoy many areas in Brooklyn, such as the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, the Brooklyn Bridge Park and the many historic neighborhoods, houses and parks. If you are a walker, walking the Brooklyn Bridge is a must. The access is a little tricky, so check it out before you start out!
This apartment has easy subway access to the many sight-seeing attractions in Manhattan, yet gives you a private and comfortable place to come back to at night.
Thank you, Paul for the excellent place to stay.
