The apartment has a good location and the neighborhood is a fun combination of Old School Brooklyn and hipster immigration. Plenty of restaurants and services nearby. It is five minutes walk from a subway station that will take you to lower Manhattan in ten minutes. That said, the place, which is on street level, is in a very noisy location. It also underdelivers on apartment cleanliness, kitchen appliances, furnishings , bedding and linen quality. We have rented other apartments in Brooklyn and gotten better value.
