Ramon's apartment is very good - it is clean, comfortable, there's good internet access to the internet and you'll find everything to prepare your meals in the apartment's kitchen. But remember that the apartment is on the second floor, which is achievable by a steep staircase - if you have any problem climbing steep staircases because of age, disease or bringing heavy luggage, I would not suggest this apartment. Moreover you should have in mind that if you are interested in bars, restaurants, cafés, beer or wine gardens, you won't find them in the neighborhood. You'll have to take a 40-min subway ride to Manhattan, or a shorter ride to Brooklyn Heights or Williamsburg. This for me was not a real problem, as I expected to take daily subway rides. But if you wish to have a "local" experience, you'll be disappointed - of course this is a tourist point-of-view. The subway in New York is very efficient, it can ride you anywhere you want to go. It's not that great clean place, but I didn't expect it as a Moscow's subway counterpart - I prefer the feeling of freedom that New York makes me feel. Summarizing, it's an advantageous cost-benefit to be in a nice apartment in a not very good Brooklyn neighborhood, and spend your money in Manhattan, Williamsburg, and Brooklyn Heights.
