Suitable place. The Real Brooklyn as described with all the colors, smells and people of the world. Hipsters and cool shops and eateries are still rare.
The subway is really nearby, but trains into Manhattan take a while and it is relatively hard to get to Williamsburg (if that is your thing). Good to have Prospect Park nearby.
The appartment is as described. Great shower (very important) and fan (which comes in usefull when warm). No tv, but good wifi. Some sounds coming from upstairs cause of the old wooden floors.
It was really nice of Tim to hold our bags the last day of our stay so we could head into town before our flight out.
