Let's try to leave a fair feed-back

* On the bright side of Al's brownstone apartment :

- It's a big apartment compared to the usual Manhattan standard
- The neighborhood was friendly, and anything we need was actually at walking distance
- We found the place quiet and lively at the same time
- The queensize bed is really comfortable
- Al is the invisible man but easy to reach via email
- ... You're in New York

* On the dark side of Al's brownstone apartment :

- The equipment and facilities are below the average standard, and they're getting old, some are broken-down
- The garden exists, but looks like a waste ground
- The G line station is a few steps away (Bedford-Nostrand)... but the G line is far from being the best connection to Manhattan, Park Slope or Long Island (for instance). Many transfers are making every trip longer than expected.
- If you like to cook at home ... you should aim to another place
