This is a great location and an equally great value. The unit is on the upper-floor of a classic Brooklyn brownstone, and features a very nice living room and bedroom, along with small but functional kitchen and bathroom. The neighborhood is very quiet and pleasant in the morning and night (several times we sat on the front steps of the building, drinking morning coffee or evening wine). And yet it is also very close to numerous restaurants and bars within quick walking distance (especially on 5th Ave), and it's only a few blocks to the subway station, the latter of which makes this an easy launching pad for trips over to Manhattan. The rather steep and narrow stairway to the unit might be challenging for the elderly and/or for those with leg problems, but otherwise we highly recommend this rental.
