Robert's apartment is modern and in a fantastic neighborhood. For a city apartment it is one of the quietest I have ever been in - the windows and glass are so insulated that they create a sound proofed hideaway in the hustle/bustle of the city. The building also has a gym, a rooftop patio, and a shared work / study room on the first floor that we took advantage of. The neighborhood has good access to the G-train and great walking and views along the East River and some quiet, tree-lined stretches down to McCarren Park in Williamsburg. Great walking neighborhood with everything you could possibly need including good access to Manhattan. And last but not least, Robert was a wonderful host who made some special accommodations for us around check-in. Everything he did was above and beyond and we can't thank him enough for bending over backwards to help us with our arrival situation. Thank you Robert for sharing your beautiful apartment with us!
