Apartment was as advertised and convenient to subway that goes to downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan, two blocks north. Apartment is at the dividing line of row-house apartments and an industrial warehouse area closer to the Brooklyn docks. Posted photos are accurate. We did not cook in the apartment but appliances were up to date. As with many city locations there is some road noise from nearby elevated highway and construction of a new building (during the day) across the street. However, to put this in perspective, the noise was not as loud as the downtown Brooklyn hotel we stayed at in the business district or roadside motels near interstate exit ramps.
