Great location and quick walking to train, coffee shops, and restaurants! It is a great neighborhood with a lot of history right outside the doorstep! The unit is cozy, stylish, and just makes for a great stay! The home/building has so much character and charm. The stairs on the stoop and inside are steep, so if you have stair issues there is no other way to get to the unit or get on and off the street without climbing. I loved it, but people complain about stairs a lot. The Milk and Pull around the corner was delicious!!! Great coffees and sandwiches!! The Halsey Market AWESOME neighborhood shopping! Peaches restaurant on Lewis - so yummy! I went to Manny's Wine Shop and loved the location and experience inside there. We did not use kitchen to cook, but it has everything you need. I did use tea kettle/percolater pour over coffee maker daily. Easy and quick cups of coffee! The walk to the subway is approximately 0.4mile per Goggle Maps. This is for the A train that takes you directly into lower Manhattan in minutes!! It was an easy ride and so convenient! We were two women, and we felt safe walking. I found the area easy to figure out! Really really pleased we made decision to stay here - I felt a true New York/Brooklyn experience....LOVE IT!!
