Staying at Gabriela and Nikko's place was so peaceful during our apartment renovation that we hated to leave! Sun streamed in the bedroom windows each morning and our cats enjoyed watching the birds in the backyard. The spacious apartment was easily big enough for my husband, mother-in-law and me.

The J and C trains were within long walking distance, and the G train was an easy walk. We were able to find parking every night on the street out front for our car, quite a treat when accustomed to crowded Manhattan streets. There is a very nice supermarket about seven minutes drive away, and a bunch of closer bodegas. We visited an incredible French restaurant, L'Antagoniste, about eight blocks away.

We would recommend the apartment to anyone who needs a quiet place to hang their hat for a few weeks in Brooklyn.
