First of all, this apartment is extremely beautiful. It is fully equipped with everything you need and everything fully stocked. We came into the apartment fully appreciative of the fresh fruit and water from our long plane rides. We did not need to call the owners once because all the information was located on a booklet. The train station is literally a 5 min walk and they take you to the city and everywhere else you need to go. There is a grocery store within 1 min walk, which was extremely convenient. You also have all types of restaurants, bars, organic eateries and fast food chains all within a 5 min radius, so there are many options for whatever you feel like. This location is close to all Brooklyn amenities, which was perfect as we wanted to attend a festival in the area. I come to NYC all the time and this was the very first time staying in Brooklyn and will definitely not be the last. The location of the apartment was quiet and the neighbours were so friendly, always saying hi. This definitely is a GREAT retreat near Manhattan. I will be coming back to stay here again.
