We agree with what has been said before. Additional tips are the neighborhood shops like the Green Apple (groceries, deli), Mothers (hamburgers), the juice bar, the coffee bar all between the appartment and the metro on Graham. For everyday groceries walk a little further on Graham. On Saturday Smorgasburg market and with the ferry to Manhattan!

We were at Thomas' in summertime: the bed above the office was good but it was very hot up there, with the summer temperatures, out of reach of the AC.

We metThomas when leaving, he is a great host.
We took the Northside Luxury cab service back to JFK. Fixed price ($50 and tip) but difficult to reserve with a foreigncell phone number.

Certainly a place to go back to again and to recommand to others.
