Marjorie is a great host! Her place has everything you could ask for. Staying in Red Hook was fantastic for me! It's an old warehouse district that's being transformed. It has easy travel options to easily get around NYC area including the B61 bus that connects to several subway lines and the South Brooklyn ferry service that goes to pier 11 at Wall St. I was able to walk to cruise terminal with my luggage.
I would definitely stay here again!
