Everything in the apartment was just as described. It was a perfect quiet place to come and sleep every night (that's about all we did at the apartment!). We didn't get to spend much time in the neighborhood, as it was our first trip to the area and most that we were planning to see/do was in Manhattan. I would love to come back with the intention of just exploring Brooklyn. Just be aware that it does take a little while to get to Manhattan. The subway stop is super close, so that's not a problem, but you are at the mercy of NYC public transport. Leave significantly earlier than you think you need to if you have somewhere that you need to be at a specific time.

We had a great weekend and definitely have a new appreciation for the city!
