This unit is great, with a very important caveat:
There is a significant amount of noise from airplanes. This unit is in a flight landing path to one of the major airports, and we were woken up by planes every day. I say this understanding that NYC and Brooklyn are noisy; I have stayed with friends and family all over the city in Manhattan, Flushing, Prospect Park, Greenpoint, and Bed-Stuy. The plane noise at this unit was definitely the worst out of all of the places I have stayed in the city. Even with the windows closed and locked and the A/C on, you could still hear them. The A/C and earplugs helped a little, but the planes still woke me up fairly early (I am not a light sleeper). Plane traffic was heaviest 7:30am and on, sometimes as often as every 3 minutes and at most every 30 minutes. It lightened up around 9:30pm and after. I usually go to bed kind of late and get up around 9:30am, so I was awoken early every single day by planes around 7:30-8am.
That being said, if you are the kind of person who goes to bed early and gets up early, it may be less of an issue for you. Our friend also experienced noise in the front bedroom from the street, but this was more normally expected city noise like people yelling and sirens which I did not consider in my rating.
The apartment itself is super nice on the inside; Jae is an excellent host. Super responsive, apartment was impeccably clean, every need was attended to. It’s about 4-5 blocks from the train, which wasn’t bad at all. At the best of times when there was more time between plane landings, the apartment was almost totally silent except for upstairs footsteps which is rare.
All-in-all, I wouldn’t have stayed here knowing that it would have had so much plane noise, but it was a great place to stay otherwise and I think I would’ve been okay if I was more of an early to bed / early to rise kind of person.
