My cozy one-bedroom apartment is a peaceful sanctuary in one of Brooklyn's most convenient locations. Positioned at the nexus of Prospect Heights, Crown Heights and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, this apartment is steps from the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and Brooklyn Museum. 5-10 minute walk to the 2/3/4/5 trains with easy access to Manhattan, DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn. Cafes, restaurants, bars and grocery options abound, but inside of this quiet courtyard-facing apartment, you would never know.
Extra large bedroom.
Queen bed with comfortable hybrid mattress. Loveseat not pictured. Also not pictured: the bathroom, which has a window and a bidet (Woah!)

Kitchen
Compact, but effective cooking space. Open concept.
Sitting Area
When we need an alternative napping spot. Opposite the living area/kitchen images.
