José's place is just as described - a nice room in a cool apartment in a super convenient location. About a block from the G train, you can get all over Brooklyn with ease. Near enough to the A train that I took it to and from JFK. A little walk, but nothing bad. José and his roommate were super-friendly and gave me a few tips on local places in the neighborhood. Good WiFi as well. An excellent home base for your trip. My only regret is that I did not have more time to spend.
