The house is on a quiet street in a vibrant neiehborhood of Brooklyn. A short two to four block walk will bring you to the restuarnts, shops and services of Norstrand and Franklin Avenues. Excellent restaurants and shops. Please patronize some of the long term old school restuarants for some great food and people. Although there is really no need to go to Manhattan, the subway is very convient and a 30 minute ride to Soho. The house had plenty of space and a great kitchen. The backyard was great additional space for dining or spending time with family and friends. On street parking was easy and always seemed to be available.
