The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood was quaint and charming. The subway is just a block up the street and an easy 30 minutes into either downtown Manhattan or Williamsburg. My only (very small) notes were that the AC and the refrigerator don't get very cold - however as a former New Yorker I understand that's pretty common during the summer in the city. Richard was very accommodating and kept in contact with us throughout our stay in case we had any issues (which we didn't!). All in a great stay, thanks Richard!
