Enjoyed a good 5 night stay here in late October with my girlfriend. The room is a decent size, and the quiet location and comfy bed made for a good night's sleep.

Elma was a welcoming host and was on hand to offer us useful advice for our stay in the city. The location is great, with shops, restaurants, bars and delis all available in under 5 minutes walk. Prospect Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park are within walking (and running distance) and are recommended. With the subway so close you could probably be on Manhattan in 15-20 minutes from the front door without needing to change line. Having said that, don't overlook this area and Brooklyn - they have lots to offer.

In terms of negatives, the bathroom door could do with a working lock, (easy to fix) and my girlfriend got a lot of mosquito bites overnight (they don't seem to like me), which we hadn't anticipated in New York in October. We had the windows shut, but I don't think the seals around the air con unit in the window looked too good so maybe fixing these would help.

Recommend a stay here.
