My son and I stayed for week at Silvia's place. Very close to subway- 0.3 miles to Broadway station. Easy access to Manhattan. Keep in mind- that sometimes they close the Broadway station for maintenance- on the weekends. Your next subway stop would be 0.7 miles away. Traveling to the city- no problem at all !!!
Lots of good places to eat. We loved "Brooklyn Bagel and Coffee" (3505 Broadway)- their cinnamon walnut cream cheese spread is so tasty. Jerusalem Pita House- little place to get falafel wraps or kebabs. Greenbay market place sells healthy food options.
The beds are comfortable, the bedding is new, towels clean. There is a vitamix blender in the kitchen. We made smoothies.
The kitchen door has an opining to the small backyard, which is nice.
There is a Museum of Moving image 5 minutes walk from the place. Worth cheking !!!
People live above you. You can hear footsteps in the morning and night. But it's not that bad.
I highly recommend you Silvia's apartment. Lots of privacy, home feeling, affordable.
