The apartment was really great. I would definitely recommend anybody to stay there. It was clean, cozy and close to the subway (G train). We really liked the bed and slept very well. The neighborhood was quiet and had some shops and bars/restaurants in the area. Contacting our host was very easy (for check in etc.). As for coffee in the area (we are coffee lovers) you should try out Brooklyn Kolache & Co. (520 Dekalb Avenue). Great Coffee! Or get your fresh beans at Kitten Coffee around the corner from some really nice guys.
