Mia's place was ideal for us. it had most things for a comfortable stay. It was easy to get into Manhattan with a choice of 2 subways (about a 20 minute ride into lower Manhattan) Marty in 'Natual Deli' on the corner of Macon & Ralph made us excellent breakfasts daily and was very, very helpful in organising a cab back to JFK when we were leaving and was a very nice man. We were very surprised at how run down Brooklyn is these days compared to out last visit but it didn't spoil our trip.
