A place for the traveler that needs a place to crash after a full day in the city. Street parking makes it difficult if you drive every day, but if you're riding public transportation this is close to access. A very diverse Brooklyn neighborhood (which on isn't?). I never felt unsafe, but it may not be for the feint of heart. Bodegas on every corner! The bed was quite comfortable and a floor fan provided the perfect white noise to drown out city noise. A good value considering you're in NYC.
