This is a fabulous location in a quiet street (most unusual not to have any street noise). We have been coming to NY for the last 16 years regularly and know how noisy it can be. Easy walk to local Brooklyn shops including the famous "Trader Joe's" where one can buy reasonably priced supplies. Easy walk to subway F and G and you can even walk to the Brooklyn Bridge in about 30 minutes - although the stunning views of Lower Manhattan mean you stop frequently along the East River on the way to take pictures. We were delighted to find the fridge stocked as well as the bathroom with many useful items. The apartment was spotless, larger than expected and everything worked perfectly. We highly recommend. We used it as a base for 10 days over Christmas to visit our son and family who had no spare rooms to put us up. It was warm and cosy - despite the freezing temperature and wind chill .
