The apartment has a great location for exploring both Brooklyn and Manhattan, but is on a really quiet street/neighborhood. The subway is really close by, and there are lots of good eating options in the surrounding area. The apartment itself is nice and have everything you should need for a city vacation. Joseph, the host, lives in the same building downstairs, so you feel safe should anything arise. He was quick and helpful with the communication. Would recommend, especially due to the location which was pretty much perfect for us.
