It was our first time in Brooklyn and Gates Ave was a great base to explore the areas and Uber into NYC .Good local grocery stores , coffee shops and bars . Easy to walk to Williamsburg and Downtown Brooklyn , Bococa and the Heights . We took an Uber to 34th St to start the Highline ending in Chelsea Markets . Apartment is clean, spacious and quiet . Air Con great if needed and a lovely shower . You won't be disappointed 😄
