We stayed in John and Ainslie's house in Brooklyn for 6 nights. It is an old wooden house really amazing, the guest bedroom is very nice, quiet, spacious, with a nice bow-window and a comfortable bed.
The position is very good for visiting New York, it is near to subway station (10/15 min walking) from which it takes 30 min to go to Manhattan.
The neighborhood itself is nice, quiet and green, nearby to a big beautiful park, there are nice cafes and good places where you can have breakfast and eat, and also a market pretty close. We always felt safe walking around.
John and Ainslie are very lovely, friendly and helpful giving us a lot of useful indications and suggestions. They made us feel very welcomed. We had a great time their home and we absolutely recommend it. Thanks!
