This is a wonderful apartment in a fantastic building with so many amenities: a gym, a rooftop lounge, lockers for packages, and a washer and dryer. The area is safe and fun, and it has everything you could possibly need. There’s a Whole Foods across the street, restaurants and shops everywhere, a bookstore attached to the building, cafes, bars, everything. The Brooklyn Academy of Music is visible from the window. Prospect Park is barely a mile away. The apartment is walking distance to the Barclays Center and the Atlantic Ave subway station, but it’s also far enough that you don’t hear any noise when there are concerts or games.
Carla is a communicative host who’s always around if you need anything. During my three-month stay here, she checked in and responded quickly when I had questions. However, I did have some start-up costs: I had to buy bath towels, dish soap, hand soap, and sponges on my first day there. I also had to wash the bedding and clean up some soy sauce that had spilled in the refrigerator. Not a huge deal, but something to plan for. One other thing to note: if you plan to use the printer, be sure to check in with Carla first because there are some costs associated with her printing plan.
I would absolutely stay here again, and I highly recommend this place for long-term stays.
