The apartment is right in the heart of Flatbush. It has lots of people from the Caribbean Islands. So, if you ever wanted to try a Jamaican restaurant, you'll probably never find a better neighborhood this side of Kingston! Very close to Prospect Park and public transit. There is a subway a couple of blocks away and the bus runs right in front of the house on a main, well-known traffic artery. Manhattan is about 40 minutes or so by subway. The apartment itself is gorgeous. The pictures really do it no justice at all. It's a 3 bedroom apartment with good size room and comfortable, queens beds in all rooms. The living room and dining room are spacious and inviting although we didn't really use them. The kitchen is also well appointed and has beautiful granite counter tops. For the smokers, there is a small outside area, adjescent to the apartment where they can smoke without having to leave the building and smoke on the street. My brother in law really appreciated that. It suited our needs perfectly. Spotless, comfortable, close to public transit and a variety of delis, pizza joints, restaurants and an Associated Foods super market about a block away. Totally, 100 percent recommended. Thanks, Lorna!
