Mr. W’s apartment was just as described. You enter a building at street level with several apartments and it’s one flight up, with two bedrooms with windows off a central living and dining space that is open to a kitchen and has an adjacent bathroom. The quiet apartment was clean and had all the amenities indicated in the listing. Mr. W. does not appear to live there but was friendly and clear in communications and responded extremely fast when messaged via Airbnb or telephoned. He met us at the apartment to provide building keys and a keypad code used to enter the apartment itself.
Unfortunately, the timing of our visit was not good, as we arrived the very day major activities in the city began closing because of COVID-19, so we decided to cut our visit short and stayed only three of the nine nights we had reserved. But our time there was very pleasant.
The apartment is well located in Brooklyn, on Warren St. close to 4th Ave. and several short blocks from a number of subway lines and easy access to the rest of NYC. You’ll find 5th Ave. a more useful neighborhood street to check out, with its excellent range of shops, restaurants, etc., and a Key Food Supermarket close by.
