Very lovely 2 bedroom apt decorated with very cool vintage furniture. Kitchen is totally updated (SS appliances, granite counters, etc.) Very clean apartment. Great shower. The location is in a transitional neighborhood, meaning it's part industrial and part older neighborhood. We (2 middle-aged women) felt comfortable walking around during the day. Local people were easy to approach if we needed directions. There's not much in the neighborhood without walking a distance, though there is a bodega (corner store) very close by. The El is about 2 blocks away. And there's a bus stop a block away. The yard and farm in back is a beautiful oasis. The goats were totally adorable and loved being massaged under their necks and behind their ears. (Nibbled at us to continue when we stopped.) We didn't take advantage of the fresh eggs, but Nicky generously told us we could collect and have them for breakfast. There is a freight train that goes by, but we thought it was charming. Had a "cowbell" kind of sound.
The only thing I will say is that the communication was not good. We did have some minor issues and they never got resolved and we still haven't heard back about them. (Doesn't matter now.) I just hope everything is okay with Nicky.
