Once we got past the major inconvenience of having to get the keys from a location 1 1/2 miles away across traffic-clogged Brooklyn and arrived at the apartment, things improved a bit. The location is excellent for transportation and restaurants. The apartment is very cute, comfortable and warm, but there is no microwave and bring your own soap and towels and a suitcase to live out of as there is no closet/drawer space. Also ear plugs as it is on a very noisy street. FYI, the apartment is on the second floor.
