This is NOT Manhattan - it‘s Brooklyn - thank God!
No skyscrapers, NO NOISE, no traffic, just an ordinary neighborhood and lots of GREEN trees, no big malls, but nice shops with organic food, no roaring workshops on the streets, but people on the walk with their dogs, nearby the subway trains to Manhattan, but you tend to stay close, Prospect Park, Park Slope, Brooklyn Museum...
The apartment just as the photos show, everything in need is there, la cucina tipo italiano, allora: cooking is easy!
Feels so good after a day in Manhattan.
