Find your ideal holiday rental in Brooklyn

Explore Brooklyn

Long overlooked as the poor man’s place to live or stay in when visiting New York, affordable apartments in Brooklyn are now in high demand and it has become a great place to explore in its own right. With rows of turn of the century brownstones to wander down in Williamsburg, numerous boutique delis, bars and restaurants to refuel in and of course, quick and easy transport links across the East River to Manhattan, Brooklyn is fast becoming a place to be seen in, as well as the perfect base from which to enjoy the city that never sleeps.

Experience Brooklyn like a local

With its own Botanic Gardens to get lost in, the famous Green-Wood Cemetery to reflect in and a number of critically acclaimed museums to learn something from, Brooklyn has much to offer a tourist who wants to take a day off from Manhattan. Brooklyn Museum boasts one of the largest and oldest collections of historical artifacts in North America, while the Brooklyn Children’s Museum was the first museum in the world to be designed and created only for children back in 1899. The Williamsburg area of Brooklyn is very popular with young professionals happy to avoid Manhattan’s expensive rent, and as a result there’s an abundance of new, independent and interesting restaurants like the sassily named Pies & Thighs and the perfect brunch spot, Juliette. Next door is Brooklyn’s latest up and coming area, Bushwick with its many bars frequently offering additional entertainment like live music and even yoga lessons (head to the Cobra Club on Wykoff Avenue). And lastly don’t forget to walk Brooklyn Heights Promenade for stunning views of New York’s famous skyline.
