We loved the location. The fruit and vegetable store across the street, open 24 hours, and the bagel place were so convenient. Everything else you could need was within a block or two. The people in the neighborhood were very friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed in the apartment- good wireless, tv, 2 bedrooms, kitchen with microwave and dishwasher. The bus to the subway to Manhattan stops right in front. There is a park (Fort Green) very close. The convenience means there is noise but if that doesn't bother you, you will really enjoy being here.
