If you've read the other reviews then you know that this is a cool apartment in a safe neighborhood with lots of fun shops, restaurants and cafes, plus the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Prospect Park and Brooklyn Museum right near by. Public transportation to Manhattan is convenient and easy. My stay was in January, so it was too cold to keep the air conditioner running at night. Without the AC as a noise blocker, it made the noise from the street and from the upstair neighbor's constant heavy footfalls into the small hours of the night hard to sleep through. So, if you're coming in winter, you might want to bring earplugs and a white noise machine with you. If noise is not an issue for you it's a great place to stay.
