We had a great stay her. For one thing, the apartment feels much bigger than it looks in the images, with plenty of living space both in the living room, the kitchen, and in the wonderful, light-filled bedroom (the bed is firm and incredibly comfortable). It is also very quiet, lying on a street with little through traffic. Our stay coincided with a serious cold spell in NY, and after a day of freezing around the city, it was absolutely delightful to come back to a toasty apartment (thanks to the effective central heating). Great plus! The neighborhood is nice and friendly (people tend to greet you), with plenty of small shops, restaurants, etc. in easy walking distance. All kinds of metro and LIRR stops are available in the area (we tended to walk to the Nostrand Ave/Eastern Pkwy one), and Brooklyn Museum (well worth a visit), the Botanical Gardens, and Prospect Park are just a short stroll away. We would heartily recommend this place to anyone visiting NY.
