Nice, cozy old apartment with lots of natural light and warm hardwood floors. Comfortable bed (and couch!), a great selection of really good books, old records and a turntable, and middle eastern touches throughout make this wonderfully eclectic apartment a great place to stay. It's in a safe building in an equally safe neighborhood, with an easy walk to the subway in almost any direction. Ala was especially kind and flexible with our check-in time when our original plans changed. We will definitely rent this apartment again if we ever again spend extended time in Brooklyn. This was a win-win.
