Overall we had a great stay at Johnny and Hala's place. Check-in and checking out was very straightforward and fairly flexible which was helpful. Their place is on the ground floor and the building feels very secure and homely. The apartment looks even better in person and the kitchen is great for cooking meals - the dining space was a real bonus for us as we mainly ate in as a family of 4. Johnny and Hala were incredibly responsive with our queries which was really appreciated. One thing to note - two of us slept in the living room and we would say that sound does travel from the floor above (footsteps, muffled voices etc.). We slept through this most of the time but if you are a light sleeper then the living room set up would not be for you. Other than that, I highly recommend. We loved the location and were so glad we chose to stay in Brooklyn and explore all that it has to offer.
