If you have watched NY movies where people live in high ceiling brick buildings and you want to live that life for a while, this is a perfect place! Before coming I had questions whether the neighborhood is safe, but please be sure it is one of the safest neighborhoods in brooklyn. The cleaning service every week makes your life super easy! Yes, there are no elevators, but the stairs are not that bad and a 1 minute stairs workout is good for everyone! :) The place is a 10 min away from the subway by walking but if you are down to use uber/lyft, there will be one at your door in max 2 min - plus it is super close to nice places in williamsburg, greenpoint and bedford. For Manhattan, it is also easy to get to the city. The crowd sitting in the apartment is young and happy, which makes the atmosphere better. The room was incredibly spacious and the design of things were amazing too. I absolutely loved everything about Vida’s place.
