This place is just as described - great access to the metro via the Marcy Ave metro stop (only a 3 min walk from the apartment). It's in a safe, Hasidic Jewish neighborhood with a lot of families and children playing outside. It's about a 5-10 minute walk to the very hip and cool Williamsburg area. The apartment was a perfect size - not too small - just enough space needed for my husband and I to have a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend this place to others who are looking for a place to stay in Brooklyn while still being able to easily access Manhattan! We didn't get to meet Christiana because she was on vacation in the Bahamas, however she was still very communicative when we were arriving - making sure we made it in okay. Overall, a pleasant apartment, with a homey-vibe in the heart of Brooklyn.
