Overall it was comfortable and we enjoyed our month-long stay. It's a cozy apartment that would be perfect for 1-2 people for a long weekend.
Pros:
- Easy check-in process
- Gala was super responsive
- Very quiet; top floor unit in a small building with few residents, no shared walls
- Proximity to trains; 20 minutes door to door into SoHo
- Walking distance to lots of good restaurants, grocery store across street.
- Strong air conditioning
Cons
- Must wait about 15 minutes in between flushing toilet
- Internet is spotty; intermittently gets really slow or disconnects
- Junior one bedroom apartment that was smaller than anticipated from photos
Other
- Neighborhood felt relatively safe. I wouldn't venture too far south towards Flushing Ave or east towards Bushwick, but it's primarily because I don't know the area extremely well.
- Would've been nice to have an umbrella given the sporadic rains
- It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the "hipster" part of Williamsburg
