Perks for the Parents

A stylish and contemporary Brooklyn townhouse set over three floors, with its own private garden and fast connections to downtown NY. It sleeps 6 + 4. Perfect for those seeking some peace, and space, during their New York vacation, this roomy residence is set on a leafy, residential street and comes with bright, light open plan style living and a large backyard with a pretty alfresco dining area for enjoying those warm summer nights. The primary bedroom is set away from the rest on a floor of its own for additional privacy and comfort, benefiting from a kingsize bed, an ensuite bathroom and a small office. The house’s location is ideal for making the most of the city while keeping the kids happy with playgrounds, parks, toy stores, and an abundance of restaurants, bars and grocery stores within walking distance. The local subway is also a short walk for quick and easy travel into central NY.

Why Kids Love it

The residence is located in a tight knit neighborhood with a community feel and lots on offer for kids of all ages including playgrounds, parks and kid-friendly museums. The hosts provide Micro and Maxi scooters to borrow as well as 1 kids’ bike for a fun way to explore the local area. Prospect Park, a real family gem, is a 20 minute cycle with multiple playgrounds, a zoo, biking trails and a boating lake - the perfect place to let little ones burn some energy before heading into the city. For laid back afternoons back at home, the residence has a cozy living/TV room on the third floor with a cinema style wall mounted screen for family movie fun, a games console, and a playfully decorated kids’ bunk room filled with toys and books as well as a bean bag sofa. The cute backyard offers additional play space on warmer days, as well as a BBQ grill. The hosts can provide a travel crib, 2 Stokke highchairs, a clip-on highchair, extra stairgates and a stroller on request.

Style Notes

Trendy townhouse. Recently renovated, this stylish residence is full of modern, eclectic design detail and bright, airy rooms flooded with natural light from beautiful casement windows. The vibe is sleek but cozy with plenty of playful style in the kids’ bunk bedroom and beyond. Wooden floors have been installed throughout adding softness and warmth, complimented by textiles and rugs. Architect designed staircases are complimented by chic glass balustrades, whitewashed walls and modern design-led lighting to create a simple but cosmopolitan feel. We love the landscaped garden which combines patio space with inbuilt wooden seating and planters, magically lit by strings of festoon lights for atmospheric family dinners.
