Before my husband and I arrived, we communicated with Kathryn to ensure everything was good for us to arrive. She was super responsive! We asked her if we could check in a little earlier (1 PM) because our flight got in early and she gracefully accommodated us. Upon arriving, the place was bigger than we expected! Kathryn was very inviting and provided great directions to the Kingston-Throop Avs subway station (which is closest one that takes you to Manhattan) – it is about a 8-10 minute walk, and also told us about the neighborhood and all of what's around.
Kathryn and Mike's place was very cozy and more spacious than we expected. We loved how the space was inviting, clean, the decor was beautiful (antique + classy), and within close proximity to restaurants, coffee shops, and corner stores. I highly recommend Saranghina (5-minute walk) – they have amazing brick oven pizza, sandwiches, and good beer. Also check out Roberta's a little north of there. No matter the wait time it's totally worth it but for that one since it's 1.8 miles away, you'll have to Uber there.
Keep in mind that you're sharing the building with residents on the second floor so there'll be people going up and down the stairs but for the most part, it was never loud and no complaints there. We loved the Hub for Two and would stay there again!
