Claudia and Tom are gracious hosts, and through airbnb shared their lovely Brooklyn duplex with us for ten days. This is a wonderful location with easy access to the best of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The house itself has elegant, airy proportions, a garden (weather too icy for us to use while we were in residence) and a small kitchen and lower level bath. It has a very lived-in feeling, and If neat and clean is a priority, plan to do a little dusting. But you might like it just as it is. The house is on a quiet street (bedroom very quiet for a good nights sleep) but also very close to Court and Smith Streets, loaded with good restaurants and shops. All major subways are not more than a ten minute walk away. An excellent value.
