You have arrived. This is the perfect Brooklyn base for your NYC adventure. And it couldn’t be a better start.
The journey on public transit from JFK is straightforward as per instructions from your great host, Elene. Tip: Airtrain doesn’t have contactless (OMNY), so you’ll need to buy a $9 MetroCard (from the machines or shop at the barriers)
At the apartment, every space was super clean and welcoming. The room I stayed in has the biggest most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. The room is big and there’s spaces to hang up your clothes and make yourself at home.
I never had to wait for the bathroom (there is a toilet downstairs and shower and toilet upstairs). The shower is good.
I didn’t but you’re able to use the communal living room, dining area and kitchen. There is coffee available too.
Skip outside and you’re on the busting Wyckoff Street. Grab a coffee and a bagel from The Bad Bagel and jump on the subway right next door (L train) and ride with one change to midtown. When you’re back, grab healthy supplies from Hana Natural
I had such a great time and Elene’s apartment made it even better.
