This is a great two-for-one deal. You get both Brooklyn and Manhattan. The location is fabulous, literally across the street from Prospect Park and in easy walking distance of the restaurant scene on Franklin Ave. The subway connections are great. Midtown is about a 20 minute ride and there are several lines in immediate walking distance. The room is not fancy, but spacious, clean and comfortable with a private bath. Laurence is an engaging and knowledgeable host with lots of good recommendations on the local music scene.
