What a treat to stay at Hayley and Jake's place. Not only is the location PERFECT (and year-round, as it's above a subway but without any noise), but they were amazing communicators and incredibly welcoming. I lived in Brooklyn for ~10 years and know the area and apartments well, so I feel confident saying that their place is a nice one.
Recommendations to future guests (though Hayley will give you the best insight): Check out performances at BAM, signed books - and the occasional reading -Greenlight Bookstore, and if you're up for a fancy meal in a different neighborhood, I recommend Oxalis or a stroll down Vanderbilt Ave.
Looking forward to staying again in the future!
