It's always nice to stay at Chris' and Zach's. The beds are comfortable, the living rooms are cozy, Chris and Zach are great hosts, and the dogs are very cute. The area is vivd and diverse enough to give you an idea of authentic Brooklyn life, but laid back enough to make sure you feel safe and get a good night's sleep. Two blocks away from the subway and about 35 minutes from Downtown Manhattan, I highly recommend this place especially for younger people who want to get a real feel of NYC and who don't want to see just Manhattan but also explore the outer boroughs.
