Anita welcomed me to her spotlessly clean, spacious studio apartment, conveniently located in Brooklyn in a safe, walkable neighborhood. As a woman traveling alone, I felt completely comfortable walking to the subway at any hour, including after midnight. The neighborhood was vibrant and interesting, the walk to the subway passed Carribean restaurants and the world center of the Lubavitch Hasidic Jews. As others have noted, the neighborhood is not quiet at night, but I don't come to NY for quiet. I loved it and will definitely be back.
