We had a great time in the 2 weeks we stayed at Brooklyn's place; it was super clean when we arrived, and Brooklyn didn't mind us being a bit late than expected because of getting turned around on the subway! She did drop by 3 times in the first 3 days to pick things up. Kitchen was well equipped with lots and pans; great gas stove as well. Was a little lacking in basic spices/seasonings (no extra sugar, no flour, baking powder, garlic powder, things like that. It did have a few different seasonings in the cupboards). Also no coffee pot, but there is a Dunkin Donuts around the corner. The bed was super comfortable, it was amazing to come home to after a day exploring the city. There was a bit of noise in the hallway and outside the building nightly. They're super respectful, and if you ask them to move their party, they relocate without any problems. :) the apartment is really well located, about 2-3 minutes from the red line, and about 5 minutes from the blue line. We never felt unsafe walking at any time, day or night. Made the city really accessible. Taking everything into consideration, the positives car outweighed the minor inconvenience of a little extra noise; we were happy with our choice, and would stay here again if ever back in NYC!
