Cristiano and Claire's place is a lovely, well decorated home on the third floor of a brownstone building. The flat is spacious (especially for New York), with a comfortable bed and a bedroom that does overlook the main street.
The house is located around 10 minutes from Nostrand Avenue subway station, which is a direct line to Manhattan. It's around 10-15 mins to the Financial District but it does mean that it can take a while to get to Central Manhattan. The floors are a bit creaky and the blinds do let a lot of light in so it won't be ideal if you're a light sleeper (especially considering the sounds of New York!).
Overall though, we had a great stay here and Cristiano and Claire were very helpful hosts, who responded quickly to our questions and requests. I'd absolutely recommend this place.
