Mary is a wonderful host all around. Upon arrival at her apartment, she made me a “spot of tea” and made me feel very at home. The room is MUCH larger than it seems from the pictures, so no worries if you have several pieces of luggage. The location is PERFECT as it’s a 1 minute walk to the Grand Army Plaza subway station (2,3,4&5 trains) and only a 20 minute commute into Manhattan. Also, Prospect Park is right there as well. For breakfast there is hot tea and delicious organic fruit and nut sourdough bread available every morning, Mary even made me a fried egg to go on top one morning! Mary is a wealth of knowledge for all things NYC and gave me excellent advice on areas to avoid and opinions on listings I was looking at during my apartment hunt on this trip. She is thoughtful, kind and very interesting to sit down and chat with especially since she works in the music industry here in NYC. If you are looking for warm hospitality in the center of Brooklyn, look no further than Mary!
