Our group of four had a good stay in David's brookstone home. As people mentioned, it's a decent walk to get to the subway lines and we did it every day since we had things to do in Manhattan, so I will say we did out fair share of walking! The neighborhood wasn't bad, but wouldn't want to hang out there really, we made our way to Williamsburg where we had some friends.
Everything was clean, just needed to ask David for some toilet paper and that's pretty much all we contacted him for, but gave it to later in the day. One thing it was just a tad difficult to close the gate door at night. Wish we would have had time to use the backyard, but didn't. Overall our stay was great, no hiccups, good place, far from the subway, but that's it really. I would recommend it.
