Like other reviewers have said, the location of the apartment is what makes this a great find. It's right next to the hot pizza places in Brooklyn (e.g., Grimaldi's), steps from the Brooklyn Bridge, and close to all the piers and the Greenway. The only downside to this is that it was really crowded outside - it was amazingly quiet in the apartment, but was a little daunting pushing through the crowds with small kids. The apartment is huge and nice, though spartan. Our family of four had no problem with everyone having their own space, and the individual AC units in every room meant it was quite comfortable. All in all a great apartment and it was everything we expected.
