Bobby’s place is located in a beautiful brownstone in a good neighborhood in Brooklyn. It was a quick short drive to the expressway for travel into Manhattan, close to lots of points of interest in Brooklyn, and very close to the subway. We were in town for my son’s college auditions (cello) and decided to drive. There were some restrictions on parking at certain hours of the day, but we were always able to find a close spot on the block for overnight. The neighborhood felt safe and, being from Chicago, we’re aware of how to handle ourselves in an urban area. It was actually quite quiet at night around the neighborhood, so noise was not an issue.
The apartment was very clean, neat, beds comfy, lots of clean towels, and had all the necessary kitchen items to cook with. This was a great way to save some money during our stay. Groceries are not too far and there are many nearby corner stores.
Bobby was an excellent host and was kind enough to tolerate my son practicing cello during the day for his auditions. This really helped give us piece of mind. The space was plenty for two or 3 people and the closet and drawer space was definitely adequate.
We would this recommend this apt for anyone looking to be close to downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, yet out of the hustle and bustle.
