Scott’s place was exactly as described. It was very clean and a generously sized space. It was a really nice flat to hang out in after being out all day.
And it’s very quiet for being in an active neighborhood right by a subway line. You can faintly hear outside sounds but not in a way that was distracting or intrusive.
The neighborhood has a number of good restaurants, bars, markets and a couple of very good wine shops.
Subway stop is just a block away, So it’s an easy ride into Manhattan, especially for locations in the southern part of the island. But we traveled as far as the Met Cloisters and Upper East Side during our stay. Once you’re on the subway it’s easy to get around.
So we can highly recommend it whether your travel is centered on Brooklyn or you want to use it as a base for a wider area.
