The apartment is located in a safe, vibrant and lively neighborhood right off the Marcy Ave. subway station. It's a central location which makes most of the sites in Brooklyn walkable or accessible through public transportation. The accommodations are simple and spacious. Although I didn't get to personally meet Suzanne, her roommates welcomed me in her stead. Everyone is very communicative and inviting! I didn't spend a great deal of time in the apartment, but it's the kind of place where you feel free to do work in the courtyard or wander the city streets. You will certainly enjoy your stay!
