German’s place is very artsy, rustic, and a classic pre-war Brooklyn apartment in a brownstone. It’s architecture is similar to an old city vintage European design, which is the opposite of modern or luxury, yet classically gorgeous.
The neighborhood is lively, but with the windows closed, it’s extremely quiet.
Occasionally you will hear the walking of upstairs neighbors or then running down the hallway steps and out the front door, but that is normal in New York City and it doesn’t happen so often that it becomes disturbing. And of course, these tenants may change in the future.
The bedroom doesn’t have a door, but it’s off to the side of the back room. The bed is extremely cozy with the BEST. BLANKET. EVER. I slept very well.
The living room is very spacious and artsy and the ceilings are some of the highest you’ll find in New York City. The bathroom is narrowly constructed and may be uncomfortable for a larger-sized person. All in all, it was a lovely and easy stay and check-in was very simple.
