First time staying in Brooklyn and the experience is very good. This unit is what I would call an in-law. It's 2 units behind the original structure which borders the street. A little odd at first, but it does reduce noise from street. It was very clean and comfortable. subway is literally 50 feet away which makes it really easy to get into Manhattan. On Smith street, we found very good Thai, Dominican and traditional American, Atlantic is only another couple blocks away which offers more options. Really good location, but neighborhood gets a little dodgy to the east so stay west, north or south.
Sam is a really gracious host. Even had a little fresh food for us when we arrived. He checked in with us a couple of times and offered us suggestions for food in the neighborhood,
I would definitely stay here again.
