The flat was roomy and located very close to the subway. We were able to get back and forth from all our favorite places with ease. The Flat is older so there are expected issues but nothing worth complaining about. Nothing fancy, but it is a residencial area in Brooklyn, not a highrise in Manhattan. Set your expectations accordingly. I was able to cook a few meals easily and enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. The botanical gardens are a nice walk (30 minutes) away or a couple of subway stops if you prefer. All in all, it was well worth the money and Ari was excellent at communicating with us.
