Located in Bushwick Brooklyn, the subway(Gates ave, 3 min walk down the road) takes about 30 to penn station in Manhattan, which goes by pretty quickly...you have to ride the subway it makes the trip that much better, the area is completely safe but it still has that Brooklyn grit to it(which by the way makes you feel right at home) I’m originally from Rochester, NY but have lived in Florida for quite sometime. My fiancé and I will be moving to NYC at some point within the next few years. Just to experience everything for at least a year. It is honestly that great. The apartment itself we highly recommend, although you do have to make your way up 3 flights of stairs...you’ve got a perfect room and perfect apartment. It is very clean and you’ve even got your own roof top!!! Charisse, we didn’t get to meet her(which we totally were hoping to) but she was still on point with everything and helped us out as best anyone could through messaging. She’s awesome, her place is awesome, & NYC is awesome! So awesome that we’ll be back next year at some point!
