Isabels husband was there to meet us. He was great showing us around the apartment, everything was available to us that we needed for a comfortable stay! The apartment itself is clean, with heating and comfortable beds, great shower, olive oil, salt and all the basics to add to a meal if you choose to cook on their excellent stove. The area of Brooklyn is good for the price, near the subway, walking instance to grocery, eateries (Manny's is excellent). There are people who sit out the front of the home next door and smoke play loud music, but I asked them to turn it down as we have babies sleeping and there was no problem. The only note is you will be staying downstairs so you can hear everything from upstairs which was difficult to keep our babies asleep. But if you're child free and enjoying the city til late this wouldn't be a problem.
