Not too much around but on all honesty we didn't do much exploring the subway at the end of the road is probably the only thing you need. There is a couple of shops for milk etc. And not too far away we found Brklyn Brew a lovely deli with bagels and smoothies. The apartment itself was compact and clean. The bathroom spotless and the shower was superb. We didn't use the cooker as we ate out everyday. The sofa bed wasn't comfortable so the apartment is probably better for a couple then a family. Phil responded quickly to any queries we had.
