Bernard's place was FANTASTIC! I booked it for my mom and uncle who were visiting me (I live in Brooklyn), and I wanted to make sure they were staying in a safe part of town that would be easy to get around. The location for this place couldn't be better. The neighborhood is wonderful, tons of great restaurants right around the corner and a market on the corner. In terms of transportation, it's steps from the Bergen St 2/3, plus Atlantic Ave (2/3/4/5 & D/N/R) and Lafayette (C) are a short walk away--basically you will be able to go anywhere in Manhattan super easily. On top of all that, the place itself was spacious and comfortable, and Bernard was super sweet. This will definitely be my go-to place when people come to visit!
