House on Henry is a lovely place to stay to explore Brooklyn and the city beyond. Easy walk to all of the fun places in Carroll Gardens, and to trains to whisk you away to Manhattan and beyond. Check-in was easy-peasy, and Annette graciously kept my bags for me during the day while I went exploring before checking in later in the afternoon. The place has a very peaceful, zen-like vibe. It is a classic Brooklyn brownstone, with all of the charm of a classic Brooklyn shotgun-style apartment. The bed is very comfortable, and even though it is very close to the expressway, the traffic noise didn't bother me (good windows!), especially if I used ear-plugs. I highly recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway during your next NYC adventure!
