The apartment was perfect for our needs. It was very clean and had all the amenities we were looking for. It was a great place to retire to after a day exploring NYC. The raised subway platforms through Brooklyn and Queens are fun as you can see the city on your ride. We did bring a car and that was interesting with NYC street parking, but we figured it out. I already knew kinda what to expect as my daughter lives in the area. Be sure to mind the signs and move your car during the days/times listed on the sign. It's when they do street cleaning and you will get a ticket.
