The apartment is in the sunset park area of Brooklyn. There is a train station within walking distance. I was also able to walk to the Barclays Center (about a 35 minute walk) so all and all the location is not terrible. I did experience a few issues during my stay that would deter me from staying there again. The heater was not working on my first night there. It took about 24 hours for the apartment to warm up. Request that the heat is turned on prior to your arrival to avoid this from happening during your stay. The apartment was not the cleanest. In fact I wish there was an option to add pictures to a review - there was hair on the sheets and pillows in the bed room. When trying to change those sheets dark stains on the mattress pad were revealed. There was also hair and piles of dust in the bathroom. I also recommend that you bring extra towels and wash clothes if you use more than one set daily. We were able to request another set during our stay and one additional set was provided. Unfortunately, I ended up moving to a hotel on my last 2 nights on my reservation. There is a double keyed lock on the front door requiring a lock to come and go. Because there is no exit point in the backyard this is definitely a safety hazard. I have recommended that they consider changing this before others stay - I would recommend you inquire about this before staying. On a positive note, communication was good with Teresa. She responded quickly when requests were made.
