Akram's apartment was great. We could see the attention to detail he had put into ensuring a comfortable stay for his guests. The apartment is up two flights of stairs so be aware. Unfortunately, and we understand this is completely outside of the renter's control, there were a group of guys playing music and talking on the benches by the tree right outside the front door every night. This noise went on late into the night which made it difficult to sleep as both the bedrooms were located directly above this. The location of this apartment is great in terms of proximity to nice bars and restaurants, Forte Greene park etc. The nearest subway station was a short 10min walk and an easy run into Manhattan.
