This classic three-storey brownstone townhouse is located on one of the best streets in Fort Greene. While there is a chance you might hear some outside noise, we think the location is well worth it whether you're travelling for work or leisure. You'll have a dedicated study here, and while parking will be tricky, public transport is close by for commuting. You'll be near multiple parks, great for family days out at Prospect Park Zoo or the Brooklyn Art Museum, and there's an array of local shops and restaurants just minutes away.

Home truths
Parking in New York can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport.

Toiletries aren't provided, so you'll need to bring your own. If you want to stock up on arrival, the nearest supermarket is a few minutes' walk away.
