This is a great apartment. It is really well equipped and spacious. It is literally just around the corner from a subway station that provides quick access to downtown Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg (my favourite area). It is not the smartest area of Brooklyn, but I generally felt safe and there was a funky coffee shop at the end of the road on the way to the subway. Lance was very friendly and easy to communicate with. He was also super kind when I hurt my back, providing me with a heat pack and also carrying my suitcase up the stairs when I left - thank you ;-)
