We had a great stay at Suzette's place and she was a great host! The apartment was very clean and comfortable, no complaints! Less than a 5 minute walk to the L and M metro lines (though be sure to research the L line maintenance... it is not running on weekends for the next year or so I think). When we booked, we knew nothing about Brooklyn neighborhoods or about Bushwick specifically. Once there, we did a little research and found several great bars, restaurants, and coffee shops within walking distance of the apartment. But I wouldn't describe Bushwick as a great neighborhood to just wander around in because the good spots seemed to be spread out, with blocks of residences or discount-stores in between. We enjoyed the unique spots we found, it never felt unsafe, and was a great home-base for us.
