Photos and Description of this Brooklyn holiday 4 guestrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1half bathroom, sleeps maximum of 8 people

Situated on one of the most desirable blocks in all of New York City, facing 500+ acre Prospect Park, this landmark house is a perfect oasis in the midst of the 'city that never sleeps.' Steps from spectacular Grand Army Plaza and the main entrance to Olmsted and Law's urban jewel, Prospect Park, stroll to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, or the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Just a short walk to subways to all points in Manhattan. A perfect location for families. Our home is completely renovated with outdoor spaces and central air conditioning, cable TV and wireless internet, an impressive library or books and movies, a 50-inch screen in the living room and TV in each of the four guest rooms. An ideal place for mom and dad when they come to visit, or a great and economic way to have a family reunion in the Big Apple.

Further details for this holiday rental in Brooklyn, USA

Our goal....: is to provide visitors to NYC an opportunity to see NY, and Brooklyn in particular through the eyes of a local resident. Live, eat and shop in a neighborhood, with real people; sit down to a Sunday breakfast of bagels and cream cheese while you peruse the NY Times and plan your day. Or take advantage of a champagne brunch a few blocks away. If it's Saturday, step across the street to the weekly green market where Upstate and New Jersey farmers sell their produce of fruits and vegetables, meats and fish, herbs and spices, honey, preserves, baked goods, plants and flowers, or take the free tram which shuttles riders around the park between the zoo, playgrounds, the band shell, or to the Brooklyn Children's Museum. Flatbush Avenue diners serve up breakfast and lunch in the tradition of immigrants from Greece and Eastern Europe or have a Parisian style breakfast of coffee and pastry on the avenues.

It's all in the details....: From the fresh cut flowers and bottled water to the 800-1000 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding, spa quality towels, robes, and slippers in each room, we attempt to give visitors a truly first class experience at a fraction of the cost of even our local hotels, and in a location second to none in the city for it's old world charms and amenities. This is a very unique bed and breakfast experience and one that we are sure seasoned travelers will appreciate. Why pay $600 a night for a room in Manhattan, or $400 a night in downtown Brooklyn when you can have more luxury, elegance and space in a very European setting. Breakfast for B&B guests (not for weekly home rental) includes a variety of cold cereal, toasted bagels and breads, warm pastries, fresh seasonal fruit, DIY fresh juice, bottled juices, coffee, espresso drinks, teas. On Sundays we serve a NY-style bagels and lox brunch and mimosas.

Customer feedback:: 'Thank you so much for your generosity and the use of your beautiful home. It certainly brought grace and elegance to our pre-wedding festivities. Your hospitality was dearly appreciated, and will never be forgotten.' -- C&D, Brooklyn/ 'Fantastic place to stay! Don is a wonderful host. Will definitely stay here again.' - J&E, Maryland/ 'Thank you for making our first anniversary so special.' - W&S, Brooklyn/ 'My friends were the first guests to stay at At Home In Brooklyn--a fabulous new B&B in Park Slope. They had a great time, and loved the breakfast. Totally renovated and very clean. Great proprietor as well. Very reasonable.' - Posting on Park Slope Parents blog/ 'We had a wonderful time. Your B&B is perfect - a great bed, generous amenities, and terrific style. Marco is great, too. How many B&Bs can boast a resident artist? (and from Tuscany!). We will be back. S from PA/

Surely the best place to stay in New York

Sam and Anthony London, UK
Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
6 of us stayed here and we were so glad we rented this property instead of staying at a hotel. Don the owner was very helpful and friendly. The house itself is beautiful, with lots of space, incredibly comfortable beds, fantastically well equipped kitchen and great outdoor space. The park opposite is real bonus, great for strolling through in the mornings before launching yourself into the city to see all the attractions. We felt totally at home here and would strongly recommend this as an amazing place to stay. If you are in a group of 6 or more this place is a way to have a luxurious base at great value.

No more hotels for us

Soxrule lexington, ma
Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
WE stayed at At Home In Brooklyn right before Halloween. The location was perfect. As an added bonus, Don's house, as well as the whole neighborhood, was decked out for the holiday. The house itself is lovely-filled with beautiful furniture and cabinetry, and Don, the owner, couldn't have been more welcoming and accomodating. While our room was clean and charming, sharing the bathroom presented a challenge in that I couldn't get into it over a 40 min. period in the morning. Luckily, there is a spare small bathroom on the first floor, which suited me just fine. Overall, the situation was terrific, and we will definitely stay there on our next visit.

Review Submitted: October 24, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
I spent a wonderful evening in Brooklyn at this charming, clean and convenient B&B. The area has a lot to offer and the #2 is minutes away to bring you right into Manhattan.
The park is right across the street and there are lots of good resturants close by. The rooms were full service and very clean and comfortable.

A Home for Brooklynites!

JillandPaul Brooklyn, NY
Review Submitted: October 11, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
As Park Slope natives, we've never had an opportunity to stay at a bed and breakfast in the neighborhood, but we recently had relatives visiting and we decided to give them our place while we stayed At Home in Brooklyn. Well, we are sure glad we did. The place is beautiful. Don has created a true home atmosphere where everyone is made to feel comfortable and at ease. All your needs are taken care of and the little details are there. I so much appreciated having a makeup mirror in my room, free bottled water, robes and slippers, full access cable TV and space to put all your belongings - you don't find those in a hotel, especially for this price! The continental breakfasts were great - fresh fruits, breads, jams, nutella (for the European set!), pastries and great coffee! The back garden is a relaxing retreat. The inn is spotlessly clean. Don takes the time to be with his guests but is not intrusive. We will definitely be recommending this place to our friends who live in the area. Thanks for everything, Jill and Paul.

Beautiful home - great host!

Mountain Folks Sierra City, CA
Review Submitted: October 8, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We could not have enjoyed our time in Brooklyn more! Don has created the perfect blend of an owner-operated B&B that is a beautifully maintained, elegant private home with all the comfort and special touches of a boutique inn. The beds and linens were wonderful as were the furnishings throughout the house. Location, location, location! Literally, on Prospect Park, walking distance from the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Museum and Library. The dining options on nearby 5th and 7th are varied and fun as is the shopping and taverns! We can't wait to visit again and hope our kids stay in Brooklyn a bit longer. This California couple discovered New York the best way possible - "at home in Brooklyn"
