This well-situated Brooklyn apartment is very convenient - 1 1/2 blocks from a red and green line subway stop and surrounded by small restaurants, coffee shops and interesting storefronts. I enjoyed wandering around the neighborhood when I first arrived, and we walked to the Brooklyn Museum the next morning. Travel time to and from Manhattan on the subway is very manageable.
The apartment is huge. My bed (in the front bedroom) was extremely comfortable and the other bedroom space appeared equally well-appointed. There is a nice, communal space with a large table in the kitchen/living area where we talked and drank wine at the end of each day. We never cooked or used the kitchen but it certainly seems roomy and clean.
Althea and her family were very friendly and helpful, and we felt at home right away. I have no reservations in recommending the apartment for anyone who is interested in getting out of Manhattan and exploring and staying in Brooklyn.
