5 star rating!! This apartment is great! All the comforts of home and the convenience and privacy of a big hotel. Shahram, our host, was there to greet us, give us the keys, tells us all about the neighborhood, welcome us with a nice bottle of wine, and gave his contact info. in case we needed him. The apartment was perfect for us and we were out and about by a little after 9am most mornings of our visit and didn't return until late night (close to midnight) during the evenings.

We enjoyed the bed and the living room couch was comfy, too. The apartment had everything we needed, including an elevator, a fantastic view of our area, privacy, huge big screen TV, safety in the apt., quiet at night, and even a washer and dryer. Our only other neighbor was a resident on the same floor and we never even saw or heard them. The pics posted look exactly like the apartment, so there it is no surprise this was a cool little hangout during the day and nice 'home-base' to come back to at night. This listing was completely accurate!

After staying almost a full week, Shahram was gracious enough to allow us to leave our bags in the apt. on our final day for convenience, since we had a late flight out. So, we went and had our last day of FUN, but came back in time to get our luggage and boogie over to the airport. The subway is about 1/2 mile at most to the apartment, so it is not too far to tote stuff and make the Metro. Shahram even checked with us mid way thru the week and asked us if we needed anything, which is the hallmark of a great host....then, he even brought us fresh, yummy bread from a local bakery.

There are a few local grocers in the area and some great bagel places, breakfast spots, and some good Mexican and really impressive local favorite spots, like Dumbo Kitchen and Vinegar Hill. We know we will be back to NY sometime soon and we hope we can stay again at Shahram's terrific Brooklyn apartment!
