We really enjoyed our stay at Allen and Irina's apartment. Brooklyn is a wonderful area to explore on it own with lots of restaurants within walking distance. Very close to Metropolitan avenue station G and L lines as well as the J and M lines at Hewes St station (the latter particularly useful for connecting with the JFK airtrain) and the Q54 bus so the apartment is very easy to get to without having to use a taxi. There is everything in the apartment that you could possibly need including a dishwasher and all the kitchen accoutrements and the bed is super comfy. We loved our stay and found Irina and Allen to be great hosts.

Oh and for any fellow Australian visitors who love their espresso, excellent Australian style coffee can be found within walking distance (1km) at Sweatshop cafe in metropolitan avenue.
