Great location, you are walking distance from great restaurants (definitely check out Hometown BBQ and Red Hook Tavern), great local shops, a large grocery store, and great views of Lady Liberty and lower Manhattan. It's also one of the few areas in NYC where having a car is good. Parking on the block is always available, plus the infamous NYC alternate side parking only occurs Monday & Friday, instead of 4 days per week. The B61 bus stops on the block on Van Brunt Street, which will take you into downtown Brooklyn for any subway line you need. There are also CitiBikes and Revel scooters close by. Just note its a 3rd floor walkup with narrow stairs to get up to the apartment and the second floor neighbors are a bit sensitive to noise, but the space is more that adequate to sleep 4 people comfortably. All kitchen gadgets included and can easily prepare meals and snacks on site. Loved it and would absolutely stay there again.
