We stayed at Gillian's apartment for 3 months.
The location is great, Brooklyn Heights is my favorite neighborhood. It is a 5 min walk from the Brooklyn Promenade.
Montaque St. is the next street over and it has many restaurants and fast food places to choose from. There are also around 4 grocery stores close by.
We did a bit of shopping for clothes and such on Court St and Fulton St both of which are 5-10 mins away.
Most Subway routes are simple as there are about 3-4 different trains in the area.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook, eat dinner and clean up. The living room/bedroom was a fine space with a good couch and a comfortable bed.

The only inconvenience that we experienced was a neighboring dog barking at all hours. Some days it barked constantly, sometimes for hours.
Host was available to us if needed via phone at any time.
Overall we found it great and would definitely recommend it to a friend.
