Marvet was a friendly, helpful hostess. Directions were excellent and she provided public transit information to help us get around the area. We felt reasonably safe walking the streets late at night when we returned from the subway stop. Access to subway lines 2, 5 was a very short walk and Q was an acceptable distance to walk. We walked to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens easily. Wholesome Gourmet Market was a 15 minute walk and offered groceries and very reasonably priced prepared food.

The only problem we had was our bed size. We selected a double bed and should not have. My husband is 6'3". Marvet does have a room with a queen size bed which we will book on our next visit. Our son now lives in Brooklyn so we anticipate periodic visits and will stay here again.
