The place is on a nice street in the Crown Heights area. It is walkable to several good restaurants and coffee shops (I appreciated the real coffee maker for morning coffee). There is a larger organic grocery close, but I highly recommend Mr. Kale on Franklin for better prices on organics. We had an issue with the keyless entrance when we arrived. We decided to go get lunch while I waited for a reply from the host. We went to eat at a place like 5 houses away. By the time we arrived, the host had replied and fixed the issue. The place was about 1 mile ish from the botanic gardens and Prospect park. I was able to run to the park and back fairly easily. It is a few minutes walk to one of the train stations and almost 15 minutes to another (quick, non New Yorker speed). It is a lower level apartment, but gets good light from the front window. My husband had to work from the Airbnb 2 days and the Wifi worked fine. The kitchen has full sized appliances. The master bath has a very deep bathtub. The master bedroom also has a spacious closet space. The bed was comfortable. It did not have a top sheet on the bed. It was to late to ask for one by the time we realized this. If you really want a top sheet like we do, double check for one when you check in. The hosts will get one for you. The outdoor space is nice to have. We arrived in NYC in the morning and left on an evening flight. The host worked out an option for our luggage. The place was very clean. The only issue with noise could be hearing the kids upstairs walking around in the morning. It would probably not be noticeable unless you are a light sleeper (I was already up to go run).
