This space really is spacious-esp for NY/Brooklyn standards. The living room and bedroom are quite large and the ceilings are tall making it seem even larger. This apt is on the 5th floor with an elevator (yeah!) in a large apt bldg. The bldg is old and the apt has not been renovated (it reminded me of my grandmother’s space when I was younger), but it was certainly fine enough. At night, with the windows open, it was cool enough sleeping although the oscillating floor fan in the bedroom was nice. (We did hear the city street noises, of course). The furnishings and decor are simple, but adequate. The kitchen is stocked enough with pots and pans and plates and cups in order to cook ( we cooked breakfast) and the host was kind enough to leave fresh bagels and some fruit. The location was fantastic as it was close to trains, little grocery stores and various sites.
