My friend and I had a wonderful stay at this apartment. We are two female travelers and it is important for us to feel safe, and the neighbourhood was lovely, and both the hosts and the neighbours were wonderful. It is a 10-15 min walk to the subway, which gives you the chance to see the lovely neighbourhood. The subway, gets you directly to manhattan, or any other boroughs you would like to see very easily. The apartment was clean and had all the amenities one would need, and there is a laundromat a minute away if you need to wash your clothes. The host Anita was very helpful and easy to get a hold of. One night we lost our keys, and she woke up in the middle of the night to open the apartment for us. I would highly recommend this place if you want to discover Brooklyn or stay in NYC in general
