The main thing to realise with this apartment is the obvious, and that is that the apartment is in Brooklyn, which is nothing like Manhattan, and a different experience. We are a 57 year old couple British couple and its an experience we really enjoyed.
The location is less than 10 mins walk from Nostrand Subway (Blue line A/C) which connects directly to JFK / Manhattan, about 20/ 25 mins either way. The area is very residential, in effect you are living in a community which is very culturally diverse, with a totally different mix to the traditional NY / Manhattan trip, which we have done several times.
I must emphasise even though there are clearly people who are not as wealthy as more traditional parts of NY the area is VERY SAFE.
Within 15 mins walk there are coffee shops / decent places to eat. We walked about 30k steps a day and explored widely and really got a feel for the Borough.
The apartment is in a typical brown stone building so has an aged feel. It has a small kitchen, well equipped and certainly suitable. The rooms are big and we used the second room as a dressing room for suitcases / laying clothes out etc. The bathroom is great and the red hot bath was a real bonus after a long day. Everything was clean and good quality. There is Netflix
Overall if you want to stay in a typical Brooklyn apartment in a vibrant, living community and get a NY experience, this place seems as good as any.
We enjoyed it. :)
