Stayed here late June/July 2015 - four of us, including two teenage sons. The apartment is clean and uncluttered with a well-appointed kitchen. Plenty of room for the four of us - we spent most of our time outside. We used the couch as a third bed, which was fine. Dikla was a great host - left us pretty much to ourselves, but answered questions very quickly, with good suggestions for places to go/eat locally.

I know NYC reasonably well, but hadn't been to DUMBO before -- I was impressed as a place to stay. It's obviously an area that's gentrified in recent years, but it's still distinctive and interesting. The subway station isn't particularly lovely (but then that's true for just about the whole system), but we felt safe, and even quite at home here. The area, particularly around the ferry terminal has a lot of good, reasonably priced (by NYC standards) place to eat. Dumbo Kitchen just up the road does a decent big breakfast. The views of the bridges and across to lower Manhattan from the waterfront are stunning - perhaps some of the very best views in the whole city (and I guess some of the best urban views in the world.)

The F line (200m up the road at York Street) takes you straight to Chinatown, then central Manhattan - it's more convenient as a place to stay than a lot of places on Manhattan itself. We are all runners, and unless you are close to Central Park, NYC is a generally a poor city to run in, but from here there's about 2 miles down the waterside, and a good 5k loop over the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges.

Overall, very positive about both the apartment and the location.
