Great place to stay if you are exploring Brooklyn or NYC! Affordable and comfortable. Only 1/2 and hour to Manhattan on the train, and a lovely neighbourhood feel in Brooklyn, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We were, two women traveling alone, and we felt very safe travelling back and forth to the city during the day and at night!
If you’re staying for a few days buy a one week unlimited travel rail pass for $33 vs $2.75 for each trip. Easy to navigate the subway system, and trains run frequently. You can also catch the subway from JFK airport
