The location of the apartment could not have been better. We were in town for the ACC tournament at Barclays, which was just a block away. We walked to restaurants, bars, a great coffee shop, and the Brooklyn Museum (for the David Bowie exhibit), and caught an Uber into Manhattan for just $13.
Lori was responsive and wry accommodating for an early check-in as we arrived in town 5 hours early to avoid a snowstorm.
The stairwell and hallway leave you with a poor first impression, however the apartment was clean and newly renovated/painted. The hardwood floors were nice, the shower was good, the kitchen appliances were new. One bedroom was a little tight. I would suggest that for this apartment to meet the description of being luxurious, the bed linens and bath towels (which were clean) could be upgraded. Both were worn and thin.
The temperature was a bit warm, we had to crack the windows to cool it down. There was normal city street noise. It didn’t bother us, but if you are sensitive to that, it would be good to know.
