Marc was a friendly host and the apartment was adequate in size for us as a family of 5 (3 adults and 2 children). We liked the coffee machine and the beds were super comfortable. Marcs apartment was quiet if the windows were shut but we needed to open them at times as it was very warm. Understandably it was noisy when we did this being in the city. The apartment was described as luxurious, which I personally do not agree. The bathroom is outdated, and needs work. The kitchen is small- with no workspace to prepare meals. We felt the locals were unfriendly when we visited the shops. We came accross quite a few "characters" on the streets at night and the house opposite had a red light in the window. It was a 10 min walk to the subway and about a 35 minute train ride to Manhatten. If we were to come to Brooklyn again we wouldn't stay in the area.
