The location and apartment were perfect for our stay, clean and the shower is great- heating works and the water pressure is spot on. What really sold it for me was how welcoming Giovanni and his family were. They made us feel really welcome and gave the apartment a personal touch. A couple of reviews have mentioned noise – it’s a family building with different apartments in it, in Brooklyn, New York – not a cottage in the highlands of Scotland it’s not going to be silent 24/7 and isn’t that why you’re travelling to New York- for the hustle and bustle? With that said you would struggle to hear any noise after 10pm so for those who’d like an early night throughout their stay it’s very suitable, you can literally only hear the radiator going on. There is a massive food bazar next to the apartment building and some great coffee/bagel places within 5-10minutes walk, transport is a couple of minutes’ walk – the L and M line is really well serviced. You’re roughly 10 minutes from Bedford Ave, Willamsburg, on the L line which is the ‘trendy’ part of Brooklyn. You can get the M straight to Rockefeller for the tourist experience. The location of the apartment couldn’t be any easier. Bushwick is a neighbourhood that’s definitely one to watch.
