Noriko's little apartment in Brooklyn is fantastic--spotless and fresh, cute and welcoming, equipped with everything we could possibly need or want. Noriko anticipated every eventuality, including umbrellas!
The location is perfect, an easy walk from both the L and the M lines. Getting into Manhattan is smooth and easy. And the neighborhood is full of restaurants and interesting little shops. Our forays into Brooklyn to explore were fascinating and delicious.
There is street noise--it is, after all, New York--but the bedroom is very quiet, located at the back of the apartment and overlooking other apartments. But if you're a light sleeper, not to worry--Noriko has supplied a jar of ear-plugs. (-:
We will certainly plan to stay here on our next trip to Brooklyn.
