For us this was the perfect location, close to Pratt so we could go see our daughter's art show and easy access to public transportation to go into Manhattan for a show or anywhere else we wanted to venture to. The apartment is lovely and spacious, everything you need, included band aids for over walked feet! We bought a week metro pass and had no problem getting around. Good food in the neighborhood (thanks for the recommendations) and just the perfect experience. We hope to stay here again in the future.
