TJ's place is fantastic. Close to some cool restaurants and markets (our favourite places to eat were Toad Style and Familiars) as well as the metro. It takes about an hour to get into downtown manhatten, but we enjoyed taking the underground and walking around every neighbourhood. The apartment was very clean and homey. It was very small, so be aware if you're 3 people that there aren't many private areas (we mostly hung out outside so it didn't bother us at all). I'd highly recommend the apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Brooklyn. TJ was so lovely to talk to and we are sure we will be back. Thanks for making our trip awesome!
