Mike's apartment was perfect for our trip. I went with my brother and 12-year-old niece and we spent most of the day walking so it was nice that it was conveniently located. The studio is about a 1/2 mile walk to the pedestrian entrance for the Brooklyn Bridge so it's really easy to get across to Manhattan. The metro station is also about 1/2 mile walk.
The apartment is simple, no tv, no kitchen, (although there it has a toaster, microwave, tea kettle, coffee maker, and mini fridge), but it is equipped with all of the necessities, including towels, blow dryer. Finally, if you're planning to drive, there is a parking lot just around the corner on Gold and Tillary and you can leave your car overnight. It is expensive, however. We left it there for roughly 25 or 26 hours and we were charged $55. It is supposedly $30 per 24-hour period so I'm not sure how it came out to that so just know that there might be some hidden fees. It was still far cheaper for us to drive than take the train so we were happy.
