A perfect place to stay is this Apartment at Michael and Bethany's! We stayed there for two weeks and felt safe all the time. Even when we got "home" late, we never felt unsafe. The metro connection is perfect! If you plan on going shopping in New York, there is a Laundry place right opposite of the apartment, so no need to pack lots of stuff ;) we could ask Michael and Bethany anything and got quick and friendly respond. We used the little garden for breakfast and cocktails in the evening and just loved it. Actually we didn't wanna leave:) loving NYC, loving Brooklyn and loved the Airbnb-experience! Thanks, Michael and Bethany! Anni and Suse
