We loved our stay at Saya and Diego's suite. The place was as described; the king-size bed in the private bedroom was comfortable, the backyard was beautiful, the shower pressure was perfect, and there was a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the living area. Two couches can also fit a third & fourth person staying with you. They are not the most comfortable, but they get the job done.

Saya and Diego were both very accessible and checked in with me on Airbnb to make sure everything was to our liking, which was appreciated.

It took about 5 minutes to walk to the subway (2 blocks) - which was perfect - and about 30 minutes to get to Manhattan, and maybe 40 minutes to Williamsburg, which you need to visit if you like the hipster/bar scene.

The surrounding area was vibrant during the day - lots of people walking around and eateries nearby.
-Conrad's Bakery and Bunch-O-Bagel's were delicious, as well as a Caribbean Jerk place next to the subway on Utica and Eastern - my boyfriend and I got very, very good chicken, rice and beans for $9 that fed both of us.

Might I suggest you take your food to go and eat at Lincoln Terrace Park. There are picnic tables and lots of trees - it's beautiful.

I didn't find any bars or liquor stores selling alcohol late at night nearby, but again, you're right next to a subway with easy access to other areas for that kind of thing.

The neighborhood was very quiet at night and felt safe - although I'm not one to walk around in new places alone.

Also, we took a Lyft to & from JFK, which was was $38 each way.
