229 Berry is a lovely, immaculate apartment near all kinds of interesting shops and restaurants. Major connecting streets are close by. I felt very safe as the block on Cherry Street is relatively well lighted and the apartment feels quite secure. Cathy has thought of almost anything you would need to feel at home in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. There are plenty of linens and enough dishes, cups and glasses and cooking utensils, pots and pans that you don't have to stay busying washing dishes all the time. I will DEFINITELY want to stay there again when I visit Brooklyn the next time.
