Joel's place was great if you're just looking for a spot to land. It was clean with everything we needed, including two extra heaters just in case and lots of umbrellas. We were able to drop our bags early because we happened to come by when the cleaning crew was working. The neighborhood seemed to be more of a residential district, so it was always a bit of a hike to get to the restaurants and neighborhoods we were interested in checking out as tourists on the weekend. The nearest metro stop is a 15 minute walk away, and most Uber rides to other Brooklyn neighborhoods were upwards of $20 a pop. For us it wasn't the most convenient spot.
