Shelley was a really great host and was extremely knowledgeable about the local area - the information she left for us in the apartment was also very informative. The apartment was very clean and tidy and had many extras like teabags and herbs etc.It is a basement flat and therefore it didn't always have much light coming in but we didn't spend too much time inside anyway! There are two main nearby metro stations which are about 5-10minutes walk away and there are lots of great brunch places on Cortelyou road ( about 10mins away). The metro into Manhattan does take about 45minutes and therefore it can be a little hassle getting to various places. Even to get to Williamsburg it will take you about 40mins too. However if your looking for a relaxed quiet location that is away from the tourist hustle and bustle, then this place is in Flatbush is good for you! Thank you Shelley!
