Anastasia's studio is a great base to start exploring from. Very conveniently located near the subway and there are many bars and little restaurants just a stroll away. Make sure to try the local Brooklyn beer! And there's live music every night in a lovely bar called Moto next to the subway station.
The neighbourhood feels very safe and lively and there's a great supermarket at the top of the street.
The apartment is clean, though a tad dark, but there are tons of lovely details that make it feel very homely. Those details and the designer hats that are on display make it a unique place to stay. And very important: the shower is fantastic!
