Wilfredo was very welcoming and helpful upon our arrival. As we are suburbanites, city living was a new experience for my kids and they tend to be very low-risk takers. That said, they were fine with the neighborhood and felt safe. My 2 teens and I walked back from the subway (2 blocks away) after midnight 2 nights in a row and felt very safe. The neighborhood appearance is on the upswing too given demographics changes. Wilfredo recommended going to Brooklyn Park the night of our arrival and gave us subway map and directions. Turned out great.
We found the location ideal for us as our objective was sightseeing in Manhattan. We were very close to the L line which Wilfredo pointed out is the fastest line which we found to be true as we were on several lines. Wilfredo knows the neighborhood and NYC metropolitan area very well and so was very resourceful. He responded quickly to my queries and was accommodating to our needs. He gave us a late checkout as we returned from Manhattan very late the night before.
One of my big concerns about stay in Brooklyn was the parking. It turned out to be pretty straightforward and was able to find parking spots relatively close to the apartment.
Apartment was as advertised and comfortable for our purpose. The apartment was very clean and especially the bathroom which is important to most people. Only thing to be aware of that could be downside is walking though the middle bedroom from the bedroom with the queen bed to get to bathroom at night. I am typically up a few times during the night and was not an issue for me or my teens.
I have not stayed at any other places in the NYC metro area so have nothing to compare it to but I would highly recommend this apartment to others and would love to return.
