My stay at Brett's place was great and I would definitely recommend his listing to anyone visiting and looking to stay in Brooklyn or close to the city. It's extremely accessible to public transpiration and a quick ride into the city. I stayed for almost a week and I must say the apartment "felt like home". The neighbors are very quiet and being on the second floor, I was concerned that the neighbors above would be noisy, but it was fine. There are alot of restaurants, bars, grocery stores, pharmacies etc. within walking distance to the apartment, so anything you need is around the corner or a block or two away. There is no cable, however you can access Netflix (account provided), YouTube and a fire-stick was also available so I really didn't miss having cable as much as I expected.
Something to note:
- There is a train that passes through the area about a block or two away (doesn't stop) that is a little loud, if you're a light sleeper. The weekend was amazing because the train was not in service, so it was alot quieter. Please note that this train was a completely different train from the one that services the area, which has great service and was accessible at all hours and only half a block & 1.5 blocks away.
I would definitely stay at Brett's place again and will recommend to friends and family visiting NY.
