What a fabulous stay at Crystal and Elito's apartment. The pictures are true to what the apartment has - it really is as nice and clean as it looks.
Crystal and Elito were always prompt with responding to questions and very helpful any time we reached out. TAKE THEIR ADVICE for local dining areas - the "french" pizza place was amazing as was the Mexican place. I had every confidence with booking the apartment and their friendly assistance - this really is one part of why our trip was so successful.
Linens were plentiful and clean. There was a total of 4 of us in the apartment and we never ran out of towels.
There are "corner stores" very close to the apartment with just about everything you need. One even wrote down the item they didn't have to ensure they could order it.
Subways - you will have about an 8 block (10 mins) walk to the main subway line (A, C). AND... when coming back from Manhattan at night make sure you take the C only... the A doesn't stop at the Franklin station so you have a longer walk to make.
The neighbourhood was clean and we felt safe walking around - even at night. As with all big cities, so long as you are smart about how you travel at night then there are no problems. :)
It is a major city - you are going to hear street noise at night. You get used to it and it will not affect your stay.
We really should have spent more time in Brooklyn... it is a beautiful area with a lot to offer.
You won't be disappointed if you stay here!
Thanks Crystal and Elito for a great stay.
