Our bedroom at this listing was quite large and had generous hanging and drawer space -- much more than our luggage would carry! The bed was good, as was the lighting and the wireless connection. The very usable kitchen served us well, and we liked the great shower. The apartment more than met our needs.

Keep in mind that if you are not comfortable with a dog and a cat, both of whom were fine companions, then this place is not for you. The bathroom is shared, so this place is not for those who require a private bath. The bedroom is on the first floor overlooking a signaled intersection -- if street noise is a problem for you, look elsewhere.

For us, the apartment was very suitable. The location is superb -- on a variety of subway lines, easy to reach from JFK airport and convenient to multiple groceries, many restaurants and bars, lots of shops and an assortment of coffee shops. (We recommend Cafe Regular du Nord, three blocks away.) We enjoyed the nearby greenspace -- Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and Greenwood Cemetery -- and were delighted that the 4-5 venues for the wedding we attended were all within walking distance.

We would definitely use Ming's apartment again.
