The apartment was exactly as described with all the amenities you could ask for, and it was extremely clean. It was just a really relaxing and comfortable place to return to after a busy day. There were lots of little touches which we appreciated, things like the list of local restaurants and umbrellas to use on a rainy day.
It's really straightforward to get into Manhattan, a 10 minute walk to the station and a 20 - 40 minute journey on the subway (depending on what part of Manhattan you're heading to). We paid $33 dollars for a 7-day Metro card to get back and forth, which was extremely reasonable. It was also nice to explore Brooklyn. I would definitely recommend a visit to the Time Out market in DUMBO, a walk across Brooklyn Bridge and a Nets game at the Barclay Stadium.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone. As long as you are happy staying outside of Manhattan, you'll be happy here!
