We enjoyed our short stay in Owens authentic Brooklyn appartement. The appartement was nice and clean and matched the description and pictures. It took us a while to find our way around in the neighborhood but actually Starbucks, a very good Italian restaurant and a fresh food market is within 5 minutes walk. We enjoyed biking in Brooklyn as well in Manhatten. New York Citibikes works fine, but you will need the app to locate the docking stations.
