Katja’s place was perfect, especially for the value and location! It’s about a 40 minute subway ride away from Manhattan, but you’re only two blocks away from the Subway station (L train) that takes you directly to Manhattan. Super convenient.
I didn’t get a chance to use all the amenities of the apartment but I could see it being incredibly useful especially for a long term stay! I recommend ear plugs - I’m glad I brought some with me because the neighborhood itself is lively. But that’s part of the Brooklyn charm.
I highly recommend Katja’s place and I’ll definitely prioritize her place first on my next NYC/Brooklyn trip!
