We stayed at this cozy apartment for just under a week and it was exactly what we'd hoped for. 5th Ave is so lively and had several events throughout the week, which was a nice surprise. Subway connections to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn were very easy, and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. Air conditioning in the midst of a heat wave was much appreciated! Also, after reading the description and prior reviews about street noise, we came well-prepared with ear plugs, and were able to sleep well at night. The stay made us fans of the Park Slope/Prospect Heights area, and we'd definitely come back!
