Sho was accessible as a host, whilst also being discreet.
The area is great, some excellent independent bars and cafes very close by; Bluebird and Erv's are two great bars in particular, both for beer and craft cocktails, and Nagel's is a delightful community cafe for the best bagels around - all of these are within a 50 metre radius (Bluebird also has live music / DJ's downstairs at NEST).
The room is also right next to Brooklyn botanical Gardens, an absolute must see, such a great stroll in the area to mix in some nature into otherwise wise urban living
The room is on a main road and the walls are thin so it can be noisy at night but Sho thoughtfully provides earplugs for lighter sleepers and, with these, there was really no issue.
Transport links are good enough, with the Q train 30 secs away going straight into Manhattan. Getting acros Brooklyn to trendier suburbs of Williamsburg and Bedford-Stuyvesant is a little trickier, either changing in Manhattan to go back down or taking the bus across, but it's all still very manageable.
All in all, Great value stay
