The apartment is in a convenient location for the subway (Utica station) and we enjoyed a couple of eateries nearby (Greedi Kitchen for amazing diner food and Familiars Coffee shop for great coffee and bagels). The bed was exceptionally comfy and we found we had most things we needed in the apartment. We particularly enjoyed listening to local WBGO jazz station on the radio whilst in the apartment. It’s a relatively quiet neighbourhood for NYC and we felt perfectly safe wandering around at night.
There were a couple of things that made the stay less than perfect, namely the lack of a clean tea towel, only 2 toilet rolls (for a week) and no hand towel. There’s only one hook on the bathroom door which can be a bit annoying as it means draping one of your wet towels on a dining chair if there are two of you. The sink is really, really small, which made washing anything (including hands) without splashing water everywhere near impossible. The fridge makes a loud humming noise intermittently so we had to buy ear plugs in order to sleep.
Overall we had a lovely week in NYC and were really pleased with our decision to stay in Brooklyn!
