If a quiet neighborhood is important, this may be the best place for you. It was a lovely apartment, very clean and neat. There is one bed, and a sofa that opens into a bed. The Host was very prompt in answering our inquiry and concerns. The weather was quite hot while we were there, and the Host was considerate to have the AC turned on for us at arrival. Made it much more comfortable our first night.
NYC /Brooklyn is a walking place. If you have difficulty walking more than a few (1-2 blocks) this may not be the best place for you, as the subway is about 5-6 blocks and the first few , uphill. Uber and Lift are great, but get pricey. Little neighborhood stores around same place as subway. Other than the little stores and subway, there really isn't much to do in the area. To get downtown Brooklyn, Prospect Park or Botanical Gardens, it is a half hour by car, and 45 min or more to NYC depending on traffic. You many want to take your own washcloth, only towels provided.
