We had a great time staying at Lenny’s place. It was exactly as described and shown in the listing.
Lenny was also easy to reach and super helpful when we had questions.
The flat had everything we needed. I would say though that the business units opposite the house tend to start their day quite early at around 7am with trucks coming in and out. A light sleeper might want to wear ear plugs. But at weekends and during the night it’s quiet apart from a distant sound from the L train and the railroad. But then that’s part of being in New York.
Talking of the L train — it is very close by, 3 minute walk and a great direct connection to Manhattan (e.g. Union Square).
Other lines such as the 3 are a 10 minute walk away at Junius Street.
We also discovered the Cherry Valley supermarket on Mother Gaston Boulevard. It has a great selection of fresh produce and lots of other tasty things for cooking at home. It’s also only 10 minutes walking away.
All in all it was a very nice stay in a part of Brooklyn that I have not stayed in before. Very different to the more popular areas but no less worthy as a base to explore the city from.
