A great place to stay and great hosts. We were welcomed with fresh baked bread and cookies. After all the transport hassle, a really nice touch. We felt entirely taken care (but not hovered over). Subway, great bagel place for breakfast, CVS within a stone's throw and the neighborhood grew on us as we explored it. Friendly vibe neighborhood great for urban explorers and those wanting to spend as much time in Brooklyn as Manhattan. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
