We had a great stay in here over a 10 day period. Nice, clean 2 bedroom apartment with all the amentities that makes you feel like a Brooklynite! The area is very residential, and most certainly up and coming. We were commuting into Manhattan daily so this was a bit inconvenient with the traffic, but there is so much to see in Brooklyn that if you don't have to, then stay in town! The area is a bit noisy with a club nearby, but we got used to that after a few nights. Overall, and excellent experience and our hosts were great.
