If experiencing Brooklyn more like a local is a top priority, this spot is perfect. The room was a good size for a single traveler. I felt safe walking around the neighborhood, and also appreciated Kaitlyn’s list of recommendations (including Winona’s and Willoughby General)! Navigating the subway was easy once I got my bearings. Commuting to Manhattan and even Central Park was straightforward. I visited from San Francisco, so city noise is the norm for me and I didn’t mind any street noise from my window (though, the noise was minimal in my opinion). Overall, I recommend!
