Allen's place was in a hidden gem of Brooklyn not quite yet gentrified but not unsafe. I stay there alone with my eight-year-old and we were quite comfortable coming in and out at any time of night I especially like the key less entry. A bit of a walk from his place to the subway where you'll have to make a connection to get most places in Manhattan however a nice walk to the AC E train as well. On the last day we did have a plumbing issue but it was fixed before 8 AM the next day and I want to refunded us quickly and was available at 2 AM when the malfunction occurred which I very much appreciated. The trash was taken out every single day and apartment was clean I barely noticed the other residents although the people I met briefly were very kind it was hot the week we were there and we were always anxious to come home to the air conditioning that blue cool air 3 inches away from my heads up my major plus. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone else I would buy at a building in the area if I could.
