Dierdre's place is conveniently located, 5 minute walk to blue subway line. Comfortable, safe neighborhood with friendly, helpful people and shops, restaurants, groceries, laundry. The space is clean in an old Brownstone, adequate kitchen, cable TV, comfortable bed. We didn't get to meet Dierdre, but did meet the folks who help support her business, all friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in Brooklyn very much.
