Fruit bowl and water very much appreciated after getting there via the NY subway system - a hot place, the subway. Very conveniently located - two major subway stations are each within 10mins walk - can get you going to most places in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens. The place is compact and very well kept. We were two adults and two older teenagers and I think thats about the max capacity for this place. Great gas range, refrigerator. A/C is window shakers and if you're there in the summer and you're not used to sleeping during a humid eighty degree night you'll want them on and they are loud. But I think that's how all window shakers are. The street the apartment is on is really lovely. Nostrand Ave - the main thoroughfare in appearance reminded me of well worn, slighly little rundown parts of London - but a few blocks over the other parallel streets are far quieter. On the whole the neighborhood felt very safe but it's not exactly suburbia or mega gentrified hipsterworld Brooklyn - it's very regular and not at all boutiquey in vibe.
