The combined experience of the apartment and its location exceeded my expectations. I'm a former New Yorkers who comes back for regular visits, but I'd never been to DUMBO before. Its streetscapes are visually rich with historic and interesting new architecture. The apartment is within close walking distance of great galleries, restaurants, bakeries and shops as well as the outstanding waterfront Brooklyn Bridge Park. But DUMBO is also something of a cul-de-sac, which makes it less crowded and congested than other parts of the city. Plus Dikla and her husband could not have been nicer. My kids and I had a wonderful time!
