We arrived at Lee and Teri’s home mid-morning after a red-eye flight from San Francisco. We were in Brooklyn for our niece’s wedding. As it turned out, Lee and Teri’s place was two blocks from our niece’s apartment and a few blocks the other direction was the AirBnB my sisters and their families had rented. It was perfect for our family of 5 and easy walking to each other’s places. Lee met us with a friendly welcome and although our apartment wasn’t ready yet, he graciously offered to let us use their bathroom to freshen up. Storing our bags was no problem. Their was a secure separate entrance to the apartment. So we could easily come and go as needed. In addition, the property was very quiet. We loved the Ditmas neighborhood. Very diverse, very family oriented. There was a Co-Op market, a bagel shop, restaurants, wine shop, drug store, mini-mart, delis, and bodegas (small corner store) all within a few blocks walking distance. The Q train metro station was just a short walk and made it easy to commute into Manhattan for site seeing, etc. We found everyone to be friendly and welcoming. If you choose to stay at Lee and Teri’s place you will not be sorry. Our stay was nothing short of lovely and we would definitely stay at Lee and Teri’s apartment again if the opportunity arises. Just as a side note and this is definitely in the description, the apartment is on the third level which requires ascending many steep stairs to get to. Although my fitness level is somewhat compromised, I just took it slowly and it was no problem.
