My best friend and I stayed here for a week and from the time we got there we felt very welcomed. She picked us up from the subway stop and showed us the area before taking us to the house and going over all the subway information and such. She was very hospitable. There was fresh fruit, quick breakfast and snacks every morning and she had also made us a homemade breakfast and then made us dinner. The home was very warm and clean and was quiet. We could not hear any outside noise it any noise from outside. The closest subway was about a 15 minute walk which was easy and the subways there went all over Brooklyn and Manhattan. Very easy to get around. About 25-30 minutes to the city with the local subway, less time with the express. Will definitely book here again when we visit the city again.
