Spent 10 days in this cool Brooklyn apartment. If what you are looking for is an authentic New York stay, then this is the place for you.
The apartment itself has everything you need. It's old school and homely. Yes, the subway is right outside the window with some noise during the day/evening, but it's all part of the experience and soon just serves as a cool background soundtrack along with the usual amount of sirens.
The neighbourhood certainly adds to the experience and is something you won't find if you're staying in Manhattan. It's very lively, colourful, and a bit rough. We felt perfectly comfortable though and safety shouldn't be a concern.
Access to Manhattan is easy and crossing the Williamsburg bridge on the way adds flavour to the journey.
Certainly would be happy to stay here again. Thanks for the experience, Andrew.
