To cut a long story short: The three of us had an absolutely wonderful time in Brooklyn and Manhattan!
Skip is just a very amiable person and seems to get along well with just about everyone, with relatives, friends, neighbors – and of course his guests.
We arrived at JFK airport, and the printout of Skip’s directions seemed to be quite helpful for the taxi driver.
Because there is subway stop just a block away, with express lines, Skip’s place was an comfortable and perfect starting point for our trips to Manhattan.
The area around Skip’s house may be not as posh as other neighborhoods, but we liked this slice of real Brooklyn life and felt completely safe there.
