Marc's apartment is stylishly and eclectically decorated. It is also quiet, with windows facing courtyards (there is no park view). There are air conditioners in the living room and bedroom for those hot New York summers. The bed is very comfortable, and the kitchen well appointed. Although Marc was out of town at the time, he quickly responded to any texts we sent with questions or issues. As has been said in other reviews, this apartment is close to the subway into Manhattan, and on a major bus line that runs through Brooklyn. The neighborhood is safe, with interesting restaurants, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and Brooklyn Museum. If you're there on a Sunday, go into Prospect Park to enjoy Smorgasburg through September, a huge gathering of food booths.
