Clean and very cozy little apartment with great amenities. For NYC it is quite well connected to Manhattan and you will get there faster than to some other areas in Brooklyn (like Bedford-Stuyvesant). I was surprised at how quiet the neighbourhood was compared to other places I stayed in NYC, especially at nights, though if you’re an uneasy sleeper like I am you might still want to bring ear plugs to sleep through the few cars leaving for work in the morning as the room looks out onto the little street (though chances are that you brought those plugs anyway). :) Otherwise, communication was great, even though I didn’t meet Mandi and everything was provided for. For getting food in the area you’ll most likely find a decent place on Flatbush Av, but there are also little corner stores closeby.
