Jack was a great host as he responded promptly and checked in with us from time to time. It was good to know he was so available if necessary.
The location was great for exploring Brooklyn and the first day we worked over the Manhatten Bridge. There was also ample delis/ wine shops for supplies and a large supermarket about 10 minutes walk.
If you want great Italian try Botte Brooklyn that is about a 5 minute walk.
Other people have commented about the noise of the traffic and it is definitely something to be aware of. We had flown from Australia so having jet lag did not help getting to sleep. My daughter in law bought ear plugs and said they worked a treat.
