The apartment is well furnished and comfortable. We had a nice stay there without any grounds for complaints. The communication with the owner, Duane, was always easy and promp. We couldn't meet him in person, because he was away during our stay, but we were met upon arrival and departure by friends of his, Paris and Nick, who proved to be informative, efficient and nice to talk to.
The neighbourhood was reasonably calm, with police officers in sight day and night. We never had any problem,and there was a supermarket very conveniently near the apartment were we could shop for food an ready-made meals.
The nearest subway stop, Franklin Avenue, was only three minutes away on foot, and it took half and hour or so to get to Times Square in Manhattan. Both the red and green line have a stop there.
On the whole we had a pleasant experience living in Brooklyn.
