“This Brooklyn boutique stay presents apartment-style suites, some with kitchen facilities and even small patios, providing space that's rare to find at this price point in New York. Though a subway ride is needed to reach Manhattan, a complimentary car service within a one-mile radius adds a layer of ease.
