The apt was a great base for visiting family in Brooklyn. It was easy to get into Manhattan with the subway stop across the street. The apt was comfortable, kitchen had all we need, lost of charm in the space and decor, and the hosts were wonderful to work with. The neighborhood was residential with great places to eat within a couple blocks.
As for the street noise, it was not a problem for us since we are city folks and use white noise machines at home, too.
We will rent this place again when we come back to Brooklyn.
