We had a wonderful stay. Flat is exactly as pictured. As others said, the proximity to the J train is great. You are only a few stops from lower Manhattan. It will obviously take you longer to get to Midtown or the Upper West/East side. Our J Train was closed one night, so it took us quite awhile to get back, but that comes with the territory of staying in a major city. We appreciated all the small touches like coffee and tea, ample towels, hair dryers etc. The flat is spacious with two great remodeled bathrooms. This was a plus traveling with two teens. Our kids said the futon chairs were very comfortable. We took the B52 bus, that stops right in front of flat, to downtown Brooklyn, enjoyed a wonderful local French restaurant just blocks away and pizza places. It was a great value and alternative to the high Manhattan prices. We’ve rented places worldwide and this was a great rental with a different NYC experience. Merci Charlotte and family.
