I stayed for a month+ in this apartment and have only good things to say! The kitchen is brand new and had more extra appliances (vitamix, rice cooker, coffee grinder, etc) than I do in my home kitchen! I'm very picky about light and had hesitations about a basement level apt but it is bright as can be. The neighborhood is one of the best in Bedstuy and the others in the building were very sweet and helpful with recommendations.
