We stayed at Stephanie's apt during Xmas holidays. Her place was impeccable, and pleasant to spent time in. The area has everything, and is very well connected. Both Manhattan and most of Brooklyn are one subway ride away. You will find restaurants, groceries and also plenty of interesting streets to walk around. At the same time the apt is quiet. Stephanie was always available for questions and to help, beyond expectations. She was very kind and helpful, with good tips. I totally recommend her place for a full and safe NYC experience.
