Except for one issue this is a terrific apartment.
Pros: lots of space, well-stocked kitchen (with oven, big fridge, lots of cupboards), lots of natural light, close to subway, close to supermarket & other useful stores, hip café downstairs. Anthony was responsive, helpful and friendly.
Con: just one - the above ground J train line is right outside the window. Anthony has put in double-glazing & heavy curtains, which help (if you close the windows), and you do get used to it after a while , and it does feel a bit like an ‘authentic’ NYC experience - but this is one place where anyone not hard of hearing should have earplugs.
