Five stars for Nick's place! Beautiful block, gorgeous apartment with everything you could need. Stylish, efficient design, comfortable and peaceful sactuary feel. True, you can hear activity from upstairs, but not during sleeping hours or in a way that's intrusive - it's just basement apartment reality. Location is perfect for experiencing Brooklyn, right next to the park and a couple blocks from lots of great restaurants, the subway, and easy access to Brooklyn Museum, Botanical Garden, BAM, Barclay Center, and on and on. Nick is super welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommended.
