Our experience in the Brooklyn based home was great. No doubt it is nicer to stay in a house, rather than a hotel. You should prepare for approximately a 30 - 40 minute subway ride - which also requires you to be transit savvy. The closest subway entrance is approximately a 10 minute walk. We often arrived back at the home later in the evening, and at times the neighbourhood can appear dark which made us somewhat weary. Nonetheless, Claire ensured we had access to the home despite the late arrival and the home is clean and comfortable. I would stay there again on our next trip.
