Murad's apartment is in a secure and safe building with great accessibility to amenities and facilities (laundry, gym, cinema room - which usually needs to be booked), local shops, delis, cafes (Central Cafe around the corner is awesome!) and really close to J & M subway lines straight into Manhattan - although it's a good 45 minute commute into Times Square, so be prepared to be sitting on a train for a while everyday if your intention is to explore the main tourist attractions.
The apartment itself is really nice with an AMAZING view of the Manhattan skyline. It's slightly smaller than it looks in the photos, but fine was fine for the two of us. The bed is comfortable, but there are no window coverings which means it's difficult the sleep-in - particularly with the sun coming in from the window directly above the bed in the mornings.
The space was clean on arrival with all of the basics needed for a stay, however there was no iron or tea-towels - the things we take for granted in our on homes! Being on the corner of a building and on the top floor, it felt very private and we couldn't hear anyone or anything.
Murad was very quick to respond to messages and emails and the self check-in procedure was very simple.
Overall the experience was very good. We loved NYC - maybe next time we might try for an apartment closer to Manhattan, however the Brooklyn/Bushwick lifestyle and culture was great!
We would stay here again and recommend the apartment to others!
