Very nice, stylish and clean place, easily accessible from Utica Av metro station (10 minutes on foot, less if you're in a hurry), which is an express station, perfect for going to Manhattan or arriving from the airport (about an hour, two with customs). There are a bunch of nice restaurants in the neighborhood, too. Mark shares a nice folder with plenty of info on that. There are also a couple of delis and supermarkets in the neighborhood. If you're staying in Brooklyn or New York City, it's a good place to stay!
