This place was perfect for my childhood friend, Kenny and I. We grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant community (near Throop Avenue & Park Avenue), only about 15 minutes north along Throop Avenue and it was great for us to be able to stay so close to where we grew up to see and catch up with family and old friends.
The community has changed tremendously since we grew up there in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but Brooklyn will always be our very cool childhood home that we are extremely proud of. The area is extremely safe and offers many amenities to enjoy, while at the same time saving you money on such a greatly affordable and beautiful AirBnB by Linda.
The place was very clean, comfortable and spacious. A 15 minute walk or 7 minute Lyft ride north on Throop Avenue will get you to the cross section of Williamsburg and Bushwick by the J and M trains on Flushing Avenue train station (next to Woodhull Hospital). From there, it's only a 10 minute train ride into lower Manhattan. Also a 10 minute walk south on Throop Avenue will get you to the famous A train on the Throop-Kingston Avenue(s) train station, which from there is about 36 minutes to the city (Manhattan).
Being respectful of the community's historical African-American heritage and legacy as well as its residents will help to ensure a great stay in this iconic and great New York City neighborhood known in American movies and music lore. Enjoy All Brooklyn has to offer as well as "The City" (Manhattan) of course and the greater New York City Area.
HAVE FUN !
Sincerely,
Ray
