We really enjoyed our stay here! We felt it gave us the real New York experience. The area was surprisingly quiet at night and really well connected to the city with the J line just a 2 minute walk from the flat. To get into central Manhattan only took about 30 minutes and the trains go really regularly and we never found them too busy.
Micheal and Bethany were really helpful and had left some great tips for local places to eat and drink. We particularly enjoyed Angie's Breakfast Spot which we visited a couple of times.
The apartment had everything we needed. We were traveling on a bit of a budget so cooked our own dinner a couple of nights and made lunches to take out in the day with us and the place had everything we needed for this.
I'd definitely recommend this place if you want somewhere that doesn't feel too tourist ridden! It's also very close to Williamsburg which has loads of great bars and is clearly a very hipster and up and coming area.
Thanks again for a great stay. If we ever have friends who visit New York we'll be sure to pass on the details of this place.
