Red Hook is an eclectic community in Brooklyn - new and old. But it's where the Formula-E (electric cars) race is held in the USA. My brother and I (we work at the race) like to experience the local community when we come, and this place is just what we need. Close to the temporary race track, the ferry, and fun places to eat. The apartment is good sized and well stocked with useful things. For us it was great.
