My wife and I spend 5 nights in Jamal's place, including last thanksgiving day, the place is sunny, cozy and conveniently located, twelve walking minutes from the A or C train that takes you directly to Manhattan, Brooklyn bridge or JFK airport in the opposite side.
Although we had a very cold weather in NYC, at -9 degrees Celsius outside, the room was always comfortable and conveniently heated. the building is old but beautiful and the neighborhood it is peaceful
