The location of is fantastic as it is literally round the corner to the subway. We found coming back from a searingly hot Manhattten to the tree line streets of Brooklyn each evening was a great relief. The apartment is more spacious than the pictures would suggest and we , as a family of four with an 18 and 14 year old were really comfortable. There is a really good convenience store just around the corner and a whole foods market about 5 minutes away down the hill. We would have no hesitation recommending the apartment to friends and hope to come back when it is slightly cooler, in the future (air con worked well but it was up against 80 degrees at night)
