I enjoyed my stay in this spacious, spotless ground-floor unit on a quiet, tree-lined block. Zaire and Eddie were very friendly and eager to help. They live in the unit above, so they are very handy should you need prompt attention to a problem (I didn't have any, btw). For transportation, the J train is about a 10-minute walk north, the C train a bit farther away to the south. If you're not familiar with the neighborhood, it's handy to the attractions of hipster Brooklyn without being buried by them, access to Manhattan is convenient, and access to/from JFK is available by subway as well as cab--and by cab it's much closer and cheaper than heading into Manhattan. If you are fascinated by other people's books, as I am, this unit boasts an excellent library! I'd happily stay again, and highly recommend it.
