Exactly as described, a superb place to base yourself if you're visiting the NYC or Brooklyn area. In a friendly little neighbourhood only minutes from the subway and local shopping, I always felt welcome and safe, even walking home alone, after dark.
Christa and Zach are genuine, easy-going and good communicators; readily willing to share tips on how/where to come and go in the area. The keypad on the door made it a breeze too, after my flight was delayed and I arrived later than planned.
Highly recommended, would definitely stay again!
