The apartment is the same as displayed in the photo. The use of space is great and nicely decorated. There are all the conveniences for preparing meals and the bed is quite comfortable. The building is also very quiet and small.

Please note that there is no elevator and the unit is on the 3rd floor. This should not be a problem, unless you have a large amount of luggage like I did since I was there for 4 weeks.

The neighborhood is right in the middle of lots of activities. Within 2 blocks you have good restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, bars a post office, and the C train which connects you to most every train that runs within Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and The Bronx.

In addition, there are 2 buses that stop within steps of the flat and travels to Downtown Brooklyn. These are the type of conveniences that I wanted for my stay and was pleased that they were 100% met. Many of the local sights are withing walking distance if you are like me and can walk for miles.

If you plan to be in the area for more than a week, there is an excellent Farmers Market Downtown Brooklyn at Cadman Square. If you like the Arts, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has an excellent assortment of events and is only a few stops on B25 and B26 buses. Frankly, after 4 weeks at Dana's studio, I do understand why so many Brooklynites rarely leave to travel to Manhattan, unless it's for work.
