This is a great place for a single traveler, wonderful location yet quiet enough to hear the birds early in the morning and people actually say hello when you walk in the street. True story. Lisa made me feel very welcome, stocked up the fridge with water and the place pretty much everything else I needed. As it's a basement apartment there is not much daylight, but if you spend your time in Brooklyn and the rest of the city then really: what are you doing inside?
