Dikla's apartment is the perfect location if you want to explore Brooklyn. The apartment is 2 blocks from the subway station, and 2 blocks form the waterfront. DUMBO is a very walkable area of Brooklyn, with a variety of restaurants to choose from, several markets, and a CVS drugstore for those items you forgot to bring with you. The Brooklyn Bridge is close enough that you can walk across and get to the 9/11 memorial on foot. Taking the subway/train to JFK is easy also. The beds were comfortable, but if you need more than 2 beds, don't count on being comfortable sleeping on the futon. The futon was not a comfortable choice for sitting on and watching the television either. Dining and kitchen were very nice, and made a great place to play games. The shower was very nice. The trains run every couple of minutes over the apartment, so can be a little bothersome when trying to sleep. Bring some earplugs. We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely consider staying again.
