Felt a bit like staying on a movie set...quintessential Brooklyn. It is exactly as it is described. The space is raw but comfortable and well equipped for guests. Loved the neighborhood ... favorites were Eagle Trading for coffee and breakfast , Bakerie for pastries (pastries to die for - but hated their coffee) and Esme for dinner. We found the Ferry to be the best way to and from the city but it doesn't run very late. Access to the the ferry is a bit of an obstacle course with construction but easy once you hit the pier. Late night return we would train from grand central to the first stop on the Brooklyn side and then it was a $6-8 uber to the apt.
