I do not like to write reviews, but I do so now to clarify some things in this listing that were misleading. The area of Red Hook Brooklyn may be up-and-coming, but what we experienced was still pretty shabby. I am sad to say this because the apartment looks so cute on the inside. Because of this feeling we did not spend much time in the neighborhood. Also the suggestion that the rental is close to a ferry stop is true ... but only if you want to be using it during IKEA store hours. We wanted to be in the city by 10am on Saturday and the ferry does not run that early. Without a ferry, the subway stations are far away and a walk through not very safe areas of Brooklyn. Please do your research and make sure you will be comfortable. I did read there are bus stops nearby, but we were unfamiliar with how to travel by bus in NY so we didn't want to try it. Maybe Brandon can make suggestions for future tenants on how and which bus to ride to where. Because of this we had to hail cabs to and from safe subway stops further away. Brandon was helpful when we needed her which was a good thing, but hopefully she will hire a new cleaning lady because the fridge was not emptied or cleaned from previous renter and the information book on the table was too dirty to even review. The bedrooms were acceptable, beds were comfortable, but closets and drawers were filled with personal items so little room for any unpacking. The bathrooms were another area that a new cleaning lady would hopefully make a positive impact. We do understand that this is a low cost option for a vacation in the city and the price was right for us. I just wish I had known these details so I would be able to plan in advance for additional cost and time for transportation.
