Staying with Louise was a great decision on our recent trip to NYC. My wife and I were able to visit all the boroughs and Louise's place proved to be a great starting point. It is a short walk to the Q train, which will take you right into Manhattan or to Coney Island in the other direction. The neighborhood is very nice to walk around and there are bars, restaurants, and stores all within walking distance. We found the neighborhood to be very safe as we often got "home" after midnight and made the short walk from the subway station each night. After walking around and exploring all day, it was nice to come back to sleep in a cozy bed. Louise provides many goodies to come home to snack on and little breakfast items to get your day started. She was easily accessible throughout our stay and checked in to see how we were doing - she even made an extra effort to leave us water bottles to help combat the little heat wave we encountered. She has many great stories to share about the house and the neighborhood, and she is more than happy to provide tourist advice. Overall, a great experience and I would not hesitate to recommend to a friend.
