This is a good place to stay for two people in Brooklyn Heights. It backs up to the BQE but the noise is not bad in the bedroom and the street is quiet. It is six blocks to a major subway line and four blocks to restaurants, grocery, etc. It is a walkup--five flights--so if stairs are an issue. The owner is super communicative and very helpful. It is a really good alternative to an hotel since it has a kitchen and room to spread out. And it is an excellent value for NYC.
