Niya's place was awesome! It was really great to get the Brooklyn experience and not be in a hotel. The building itself is beautiful and the room Niya provided is decorated with a great eye. Make sure you check the drawers for helpful maps, and of course check with Niya for more helpful hints on the city. It's not a bad walk to the subway and if you are staying around Brooklyn for your activities the cabs are pretty fairly priced when you just can't figure out the subway... there is a learning curve.;) (fun fact earned on our last day, cabbies have to take you where you want to go if you're in the cab, so get in before you tell them where you're going) Niya's place is also right on the bus line which after a late night was not a bad ride at all. Parking was oddly easy if you are driving here, as we did. We found on street parking a block up the road which was great for us because once you're here your better off ditching the car.:) Niya's place is rather quiet too. The other tenants of the building are super quiet and rarely around. there are little convenience stores on most the corners around his place too for supplies. All in all it was an awesome experience, Niya couldn't be nicer and the place couldn't have been more accommodating. Thanks again Niya!
