Luba‘s place is perfect if you stay for a few nights and are out all day. If the weather is good you can enjoy sitting on the terrace. The area is quiet and close to Myrtle Avenue, I didn’t feel so comfortable though, as there are other areas in Brooklyn much more alive. It always depends on what you need. Personally speaking the flat was too crowded, she had friends around, that are very nice and warm-hearted people, but if you need a place to calm down a bit and rest you should look for another place. But if you are out all day anyway or love to chat with people I can recommend this place. The room is located next to the kitchen and common area, so you hear almost everything, but nothing that earplugs can’t fix and I have very light sleep, so maybe I’m too sensitive towards noise. All in all I liked her and her friend a lot, they were very welcoming and really polite and gave me advice what to see in the city.
