bradley, otis, and cassie (the dog) were so welcoming and we quickly settled in and became friends!( this was a long term stay) brad is very gracious and most sharing with anything you need. brad and i helped each other out a lot with the dogs and that was a comfort while i was at work some days with long hours. the apartment is cozy and is easy to settle into. the neighborhood is great- coffee shop on one corner, grocery on the other, pizza across the street. a block up on myrtle there are lots of shops and restaurants. the subway is a bit of a trek, but the neighborhood you walk through (clinton hill), is so beautiful ! the apartment is super accessible by car to manhattan as it is pretty close to all the bridges. it is also central between williamsburg and downtown brooklyn. thanks brad!!!! and otis and cassie!!!
