You live in a safe area. Sometimes we came home late at night but we never felt unsafety. It is no problem to reach the next supermarket without a car. Just 5 min to walk. The bus station is close to the house. Just 2 min to walk. Marvin, the host, doesn't live there, but his parents. They are very nice and polite. We had great time with his mother. Thank you for good time and the nice conversations! We would come back if we will visit brooklyn again.
