Luis and Victor are supersweet hosts. They respect your privacy, and are very warm and welcoming! As you cross them in the apartment, they are always curious to hear about your adventures. They keep the apartment spotless clean, and the shared bathroom too. It didn't even feel as a shared bathroom! I was a solo traveler, for the first time in New York. The neighbourhood is very cool, shows you a piece of real life in Brooklyn, in all its colors and beautiful diversity. Many local shops and a huge foodmarket with all the products from all the cultures living there! There is a train station right around the corner, literally 5 minutes away from great connections to Downtown and Uptown Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn. Manhattan takes about 25-30'. The neighbourhood might feel rough if you think you are a character from gossip girl, but honestly it is supersafe for a woman alone, even late evenings/nights. I had an easy, well-rested trip thanks to this safe haven and huge comfortable bed at Lui&Victor's! Highly recommended, especially if you go solo like me :)
