Duery was an excellent host! He’s welcoming and kind. Super chill. The room was perfect for a solo traveler or couple. The roof is a great perk! There’s chairs and a little couch up there. Great night view! The bed was comfortable and there’s a desk/chair in the room, which was convenient for all my toiletries or if you need a work space.
It’s about a 10 min walk to the subway. I did Uber/Lyft home later at night to be safe (11pmish & after), but otherwise I walked all around the neighborhood and felt very safe. Its close to great restaurants and a coffee shop called Nurish. I ate at the Dominican restaurant Duery recommended, which was very good!
It’s about a 10-15 min walk to Prospect park, the Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn museum. It was about 30-40 min on the subway to get to Greenwich Village & the Chelsea area without any transfers. Very convenient.
I would stay again and would recommend Duery’s place to others!
