J. is an amazing communicator, and SO responsive if you have a question or concern. He even had a new french press sent next day delivery when we discovered the coffee pot wasn’t working.
The apt is his family’s home and has a lovely home touch in each room. I do think it’s a bit cluttered as it still has many items from the family in the place. You do hear street noise (from the adjacent street), but then again, you are in the city! Noise cancelling machines would be a great addition to each bedroom. Great restaurants within walking distance, as well as the subway stop to get everywhere! Nearby are the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park, real gems and not to be missed.
