This is a functional apartment in a modern building - we particularly appreciated the robust air conditioning, as we visited during a heat wave. It was very good as a place to crash, and I've given the host some suggestions for ways to make it even better (as a place to work, as a place for a leisurely meal, for instance). The neighbourhood is bustling, and the proximity to Prospect Park is a big plus. The roads and sidewalks in this part of Brooklyn are not kept clean, but we had no concerns about safety or security in the neighbourhood. The host was helpful and responsive to our queries, and the procedures for checking in and out were efficient.
