We enjoyed our stay at Eli's typical Brooklyn brownstone, it's lovely and worked well for our family. It's perfect to hangout after a day visiting NYC. The neighborhood is more low income but safe, with free street parking, and 2 subway stations within a 10-15 mins walk for a quick access to Manhattan. If you want to dine out, there are some good walkable options 15-20 mins away or you can go to the grocery store a few steps up the street.
