I lived in Fort Greene Brooklyn for nearly 15 years and, despite extensive gentrification, still consider it to be the coolest neighborhood in NYC. With that in mind, I cannot imagine a better place to stay, than Marcus’ place. His building is located within 3 blocks of most of NYC’s major train lines, near BAM (where festivals, movies, symposiums, plays and concerts are held) and a short walk from Barclay’s Center. Go West on Fulton and you can easily access downtown BK: The Promenade, large stores like Century 21 and small boutiques on Atlantic Ave. Go East on Fulton or Lafayette and you will encounter the amazing vibe of Fort Greene: concerts in the park, plus diverse restaurants, cafes and bars. Then, there is Marcus’ apartment. The building has polite/attentive lobby personnel and super-fast elevators. His flat is ultra-modern, extremely comfy and clean with central air/heat. There are huge windows to facilitate astonishing views of NY Harbor (including the Statue of Liberty), downtown BK, The East River and Midtown Manhattan. He even has a balcony, so you can truly feel BK’s atmosphere. Oh, and there are safe parking spots nearby.
