I am a professional dancer and wanted a room of my own to come to after daily rehearsals rather than a friends couch. I’ve lived in NYC before (Harlem) so the city is not a new experience for me however Brooklyn was. That being said my ONLY complaint (which has nothing to do with Brady or this listing but posting for those that may find themselves in a similar situation to know beforehand) was the commute to and from where I was working in the city. It’s about an hour to and from where I was working in the city on the subway and it definitely took a big chunk of my days while I was there…. BUT coming “home” to Bradys place everyday always made me feel better. The entire residence was so warm at every moment (and it was freezing in New York). Everything was always clean/cleaned so you never saw mess… ever. Quiet! (Which is a treasure for anywhere in New York) and VERY affordable. I cannot recommend enough! Just be aware when planning on if you’re going to be in the city a lot… subways!
