We had a lovely stay at Tom's home. The location was perfect. The ferry to DUMBO and Wall St. is a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Bus 61 is also 3 minutes away. The F train is an easily accessible 20 minute walk. Fairway grocery store is 10 minutes away and there are numerous coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance of the apartment. We also went to the local pool 15 minutes walking distance. The apartment was spacious with a large well equipped kitchen. There is also a small patio. The neighborhood is really quiet and tranquil which is welcomed after a day in Manhattan. Buddy the dog was visiting during our stay and Tom was kind enough to let my daughter play with him during our stay. This for us just made it seem like home away from home since we have many pets and my daughter was a bit homesick for them! I can highly recommend a stay at Toms place not just for proximity etc but for the genuine warmth of the host!
