We loved staying in Brooklyn; Kwab's Airbnb is within easy walking distance of the subway, where you can take an express train into Manhattan. Kwab is an excellent host, responding promptly to any questions and concerns we had. The only drawback we found with the apartment, situated in the basement, is that anyone sleeping in the living room on the bed settee has no privacy as this is an open space adjacent to both the kitchen/dining area and the bathroom.
