I can't say enough great things about Tony's place and about his role as a host. It was our first time to stay in Brooklyn and, thanks to this experience, will certainly not be our last. After enjoying the sights in Manhattan, it was so nice to hop on the ferry and cross the river to the Naval Yard, only half a mile or so away. We always felt safe and thoroughly enjoyed exploring this multicultural neighborhood. Tony left some really good restaurant recommendations (Graziella's pizza was a favorite), and we found some gems of our own (Locals, Mike's Diner). We carved out a couple of days to spend solely in Brooklyn, which gave us opportunities to visit the fantastic Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park. It was a little bit of a hike to the nearest subway stop, but it was easy to catch a bus nearby for those times that we didn't want to walk. If you enjoy jazz, I highly recommend Brownstone Jazz just a couple of miles away in Bed Stuy. (And it is just that: seasoned jazz musicians playing in the lobby of an old brownstone.) Tony was the most responsive Airbnb host I've ever encountered. He immediately answered texts when we needed restaurant suggestions or had any other questions about the area. This Airbnb would be a little tight with four occupants, but for our family of three, it was the perfect size. Highly recommend!
