Andrea met us punctually and provided us with all the information we needed about the apartment. It was as described - small, basic but providing everything we needed. The neighbourhood is quiet but close to an attractive area with lots of life, diverse shops and close to Brooklyn Heights with magnificent views of Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge which is close enough to walk to and across into Manhattan. We like walking and got as far as Central Park on foot but we also used the subway which is very close and cheap.
