Andrea's apartment is a wonderful location for exploring New York. Close to great restaurants and bars in Franklin Ave, as well as nearby Washington Ave. It's also minutes from the 2,3,4,5 lines, which offer quick access to Manhattan. The building is quiet and easy to access, in a lively neighborhood which is nevertheless quiet at night. Personal faves - Nagel's Bagels in Franklin Ave, Meme's Diner in Washington Ave, Furman Coffee in Nostrand Ave, Shakespeare in the Park (even in the rain!). Comfortable, cool apartment (in both senses, NY was hot when we were there!) that quickly felt like home.
