I lived for almost 2 months in Jaques room while he was travelling in Africa. The apartment is super well located, just next to the subway station and close to many nice bars and restaurants. However, it's not yet super hip, more like a nice mix of people with different backgrounds. The flat itself is really cool with a lot of great books and an amazing sound system. Though it's not super fancy, the location and the space combined with a comparatively low price made it very convenient for me. It takes around 30 minutes to get to Manhattan and all nice parts of Brooklyn are very close. All in all, I was really satisfied, thanks Jacques!
