Monde en Virée
It's a neighborhood with a very different atmosphere from Manhattan. Far from the skyscrapers and the frenzy of the city, Brooklyn is a mix of quiet residential areas, typical small red brick houses, and green spaces.

For a longer stay, I really recommend looking for accommodation in neighborhoods other than Manhattan. My preference clearly goes to Brooklyn! It’s further away, but if you get a transit card, it doesn’t matter if you have to take the subway more often. Plus, the elevated line promises an amazing view of the skyline! Finally, Brooklyn is a really nice and dynamic neighborhood. You pay significantly less, and you enjoy a unique neighborhood life!
