The apartment is very clean and spacious, the bed is very confortable and the whole atmosphere is cosy but the location is probably the worst surprise for someone who's discovering NYC. The apartment is far from the subway. During our stay, we couldn't get to Manhattan directly, we had to take the Q line back to Sheepshead bay then back to the city. It took us from 55mn to 90 mn to get there door to door. It's also tricky to move around Brooklyn there are only two lines the Q & the B + buses who take ages.
For those who have sleeping issues, it's not an ideal deal: even if the apartment is renovated, it's an old building and there are noisy visible pipes that go from the ceiling to the floor, they produce loud noise during day and night. The noise woke me up twice at night during our stay and I couldn't get back to sleep again. The noise resembles a hammer hitting a metallic pipe.
