Frances is a great person and a superb host. She lives in a delightful eclectic neighborhood with easy access to great eateries,parks,subways. It is doable to venture further on foot then subway back. We walked to the Brooklyn Bridge, took photos, rested and then walked into the city and explored for many hours before ubering back. We easily subwayed and walked all over the place from her home. Frances has thought about the decor,the house is clean,fresh,pretty,comfortable and inviting. She also gave us perfect directions for the airport,which we are heading to now. Frances,if you are ever in New Zealand, feel free to contact us :)
