This is a bijoux comfortable appt as described and with no surprises, the staircases aren’t too bad at all! The area felt very safe, was family orientated and we were happy to walk about and shop in local Spanish speaking stores. The subway is moments away and we used it (with very helpful tips from Sammy) to visit Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park and the historic area on 7th Avenue. We also went on a Foodie aTour in East Village. We slept very well on a comfy bed and it’s pretty quiet as our bedroom overlooked gardens, the shower is good and the kitchen very well equipped. We had the place to ourselves as Sammy was away so all in all excellent value, and highly recommended. We stayed 4 days and would certainly stay again.
