If you're looking for a great place to stay in Brooklyn, this is this spot.
Virginia and Steve were so gracious and welcoming. They were quick to respond even and offered information about the area (such as providing us with a wealth of resources of where to get take out from!)
It takes about an hour by public transit to get to downtown Manhattan, but as long as you plan your days accordingly, the location is pretty ideal for the price. It's even more ideal if you're looking to explore in Brooklyn.
All and all, I can't recommend staying here enough.
