Take a break from the bustle of the city in Brooklyn’s emerald oasis.

Escape the urban hubbub and see Brooklynites at leisure in the vast Prospect Park, a 585-acre wonderland of natural and cultural attractions. This dreamy expanse of meadows, woods and lakes was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who said he was more proud of Prospect Park than any of his other creations – and that includes Manhattan’s Central Park. Lounge among picnicking locals on the beloved Long Meadow, cycle or walk along the paths, or delve into Brooklyn’s colonial past at the Lefferts Historic House.

The room was clean. Had a full kitchen and was very spacious. It was a few blocks from the train station which was convenient to get into the city pretty quickly. Staff was friendly as well.
