This is an ideal place to stay... A nice Brooklyn neighborhood away from the glitz and tourist throngs in Manhattan. Lots of ethnic eats within a walk of several blocks. Awesome market on the corner to stock up on anything you might need. Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, and Brooklyn Museum an easy walk from the apartment. Prospect Park subway station just around the corner for easy transport to anywhere greater New York you want to go. This is a third floor apartment in an old building, so there are steep narrow stairs to climb. But the place was nicely updated and very clean.
