Full marks to Carmia and Joe. Their garden paradise is as delightful as claimed and they are wonderfully attentive and caring hosts. There was a small glitch with the gas hob and they were on to it so fast and thoroughly. Three subway lines close by to take you wherever in NYC and Brooklyn itself should not be missed. If we hadn't been this side of the city, we'd probably have missed the wonderful Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Gardens and Dumbo and Williamsburg and Salud, great eating place just a few footsteps away from "home".
