Where to start?! The apartment is magnificently curated from the furniture to the artwork on the wall. It’s an awesome take on a modern farmhouse style. I loved the wood accents throughout the space. Everything I could want was right there. The train is less than 2 blocks away and runs every 5mins or so. I could get to Downtown Brooklyn in less than 20mins and Manhattan in about 30mins. Prospect Park is also two blocks away. Absolutely gorgeous. Endless trails for walking or jogging, plus great spots for picnics and there’s even a picturesque lake right there! Beautiful place to enjoy nature. There was even a free concert in the park during my stay. There are tons of markets, shops, and restaurants, two blocks up on Prospect Park West and in the other direction towards 11th Ave another supermarket and a Walgreens. Every type of restaurant I could imagine was within a short walk.
The neighborhood is extremely friendly, full of families and warm, welcoming neighbors. It’s SUPER quiet, all throughout the day. It is by far the most peaceful neighborhood I’ve ever experienced in NYC. I suppose my favorite part of the neighborhood is that there are a few blocks that architecturally look and feel like A transport to Philadelphia. This neighborhood was full of nuance and surprises. I absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a resoundingly quiet, charming, tasteful little nook that’s still close to the vibrance of the city.
