We had a wonderful two weeks in the apartment. It was exactly as described, bed very comfortable, good shower. It provided a good base to explore Brooklyn and the rest of New York. The information was extensive and very informative. Our hosts were a delight, friendly and helpful. Friendly noises from above were not a problem, in fact rather re-assuring, though we do use earplugs at night anyway. We would definitely recommend this apartment and hope we can come again.
