I totally loved the walking tour books of both Brooklyn and New York City in the bedroom. Great reading material - and had I been in better shape ( not on crutches) I would have definitely gone on several mile excursions! The house was in a very nice ,safe neighborhood- close to quaint shops and all type of local restaurants and bakeries. Mark also has a listing of area places to visit and a carafe of cold water awaits guests. The rooms were cozy and the bathroom was spacious ( especially for NY standards!). Only a hop, skip and a jump to the nearest subway station to take you into the city ! Would definitely stay here again if afforded the chance !
