We stayed at James’ place for 10 days and have nothing to complain!
The house is absolutely beautiful and clean. It really felt like a home to us! We were allowed to store food in the fridge to prepare breakfast every day, which may be very convenient if you dont want to spend money on eating breakfast at some place every day!
The room had a private bath and a washer and dryer, very good for longer stays! Just make sure to not wash your clothes that hot/warm otherwise they might shrink a little!
The J-line runs frequently (every 10 minutes, even at night) to Manhattan and back. The local stop is about 5-10 minutes away by foot.
There is also a very good grocery store right by the train station (Premier Food).
We would definitely recommend walking to the Brooklyn Bridge at least once if you have enough time. It takes about 1 1/2 hours but you‘ll see some beautiful parts of Brooklyn. We absolutely fell in love with the place and the neighborhood and would definitely stay at James‘ place again!
