Stayed at Jason's place for about two weeks. Helen gave me a warm welcome and she’s the type of person that makes you drop your guard right away. Jason is cool, easy-going and helpful with lots of knowledge about the neighborhood. Together they make you feel like you are a member of the family and one thing I won't miss to comment on is they do every effort to keep the place dead-quiet at night, hence your stay pleasant.
Only 4~5 min walk to a Metro station(Church Ave. of Line F) and 20+ min to Manhattan from then. The train goes right through Downtown Brooklyn(Jay St-MetroTech station) so if you are interested in both Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, in terms of accessibility, it’s hard to beat this place.
