We stayed at Renee's apt for 5 days. At check-in time, the apartment was very clean and had everything we needed.
The neighborhood was nice, but we didn't take the time to really explore it, so I can't comment on that. It is just a quite area in Brooklyn.
The apt is less than 10 min walk from the C line but it can take you up to 20 min or more to get to Manhattan so plan accordingly.
