Compared to other Air BNB apartments that we have stayed at in NYC, Anne's place is relatively large and comfortable. It has a dining room table and a kitchen that can prep a real meal in. There really isn't a great place to read other than the dining room table. Though we didn't use the washer and dryer, we could see that that could be very convenient. The neighborhood is the biggest plus. It is much more developed than we were expecting with wonderful bars and restaurants that were inventful and not cookie cutter. Anne's place is less than a block from the commercial strip and the subway. If you are going into Manhattan, the F train is your only choice here. However, it is a good line that gets you to the Island quickly. We spent significant time in the Lower East side and Greenwich Village. Restaurants in those places get crazy busy so it was very welcome to hop back on the F train and get back to Boerum Hill and simply walk into the many excellent restaurants. Highly recommended.
