The room was great. We got in late Friday and met the caretaker who was very friendly and informative. I had a car but chose instead to use the A and C lines which is at the end of the block. I had planned to leave my car in an overnight parking lot but there were plenty of free spots in front of the place. The A train is an express train and got us to Manhattan in less than 20 mins. The neighborhood is slowly gentrifying and felt very safe. There were some nice cafes on Nostrand too for breakfast/lunch.
