The apartment was clean, modern and looked just like the photos. Avi was welcoming and friendly and makes it clear that he's there if you need anything - he lives below, so you can just go and knock on the door.

The neighbourhood is very friendly and safe, even at night. There are a few delis and convenience stores very close (1 minute walk) from the apartment. If you walk a little further (5-7 minutes) you get to Fulton Street where there's a subway station, more delis and conveniences stores and plenty of fast food places.

There aren't many bars close by, but there are local buses to Bushwick and Williamsburg, local subways to Brooklyn Bridge and Bushwick and the express A train to Manhattan takes only about 15 minutes.

This apartment is great value and is perfect if you want to go to New York on a budget or if you want somewhere quiet but still be close to the city.
