Really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is lovely and had everything we needed. I stayed with my two teenage sons. The neighbourhood was interesting - real mix of people. It felt like a genuine long standing Brooklyn community which, for me was a welcome experience. But it’s not posh. If you live in an urban area like London it’ll seem normal. If you’re used to plush rural splendour, it may feel a little edgy.
We found plenty of places for food a short walk away - Chinese, Thai, pizza, French cafe, coffee houses - and a good supermarket too.
Good access to the subway to explore other parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan. We felt safe - even coming home late evening after a Brooklyn Nets game at the Barclay Centre.
