This apartment is being updated recently, all appliances in the kitchen were pretty new and the bathroom is brand new also. Everything was very clean, the linens were also new. Crystal's husband (Elito) was there to welcome us and show us the apartment. He was very kind and available to any of our questions, and reaching out during the week to make sure everything was ok. We are only 3 but decided to rent this one even if it's large for us because it has real beds which was a plus for us, and it made a difference for our 18 years old son. The street is very quiet, the rooms face the back of the building and you don't get any noise.
Regarding the neighborhood, this is our second stay in the area in the last 6 months and we love it! Don't expect the nice brand new buildings of other areas of Brooklyn, this one is still in process, but the location is great with 2 close subway lines (G and A/C) and great restaurants in the area.
We will definitely repeat this apartment in the future!
