Lovely,spacious,superclean apartment. Only one floor up from the doorway. Lots of hot water in the spotless shower. Ravanna's brother was a gracious, facinating host. Great Brooklyn neighborhood. We felt safe and secure the whole time. We met friendly, helpful people everywhere. Rude New Yorkers? None to be found. We found ourselves coming home late one night and going in the wrong direction. Without asking, a hipster guy on the street helped us get a cab. Great restaurants in the area. We ate Indian nearby at a very reasonable price. Organic and regular grocery stores one block away. The train was a fifteen minute walk away, but I'm an older slow walker. There is even music entertainment within a few blocks. Taxis are plentiful and fast even on the rainy days we were there. 42nd street in Manhattan about 40 minutes away by train. Ironing board, umbrellas, guidebooks, small but fully provided kitchen (again spotless) with pizza in the freezer are just a few of the thoughtful things provided. Full cable and wifi. The only thing we lacked were stemmed wine glasses, but that is defintely picky on my part because the glassware was plentiful and tasteful. Great place to stay and get a whiff of being a real New Yorker. You will love your stay.
