This apartment was ideal for us, since it had an elevator! Many Brooklyn places have many steps to get into an apartment (if not on the first floor). The apartment was great and just ideal for us: we like to explore during the day and then come back for a siesta before going out to dinner - and it was nice to rest in this apartment. There really was nothing missing - and we "tested" this out when it was hot and humid in NY. And it is a great location for nearby stores, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. - as well as the subway - the Q line is down the block and Barclay Center subways are a short distance away. We will come back!
