We had a great stay in Brooklyn. Jt and his wife are very responsive. Check in and out was simple. This is an older two-bedroom, one-bath apartment on the ground floor, so if you are expecting a modern hotel room, you may be disappointed. However, if you want an authentic New York experience, this is the place for you. You have to watch the parking situation as all vehicles have to be moved for street cleaning at designated times as posted on signs. This will affect you no matter where you stay in New York. There are several markets nearby ( I highly recommend "Bob and Betty's"...its like a miniature affordable Whole Foods. There are also discount stores and laundromats nearby. We felt safe walking around the neighborhood. Jt keeps the place clean. We visited in late June and never saw a single bug. We are a family of six visiting NYC so we brought two cots along for our younger boys, my older boys slept in the smaller bedroom with the trundle and my wife and I slept in the large bedroom. There is no air conditioning, but Jt provided two fans. Access to the 2-3 and 4-5 subway lines, which take you into lower Manhattan, is only a few blocks walk from the apartment. Overall, we had a great time and would stay at Jt's again. Have a blessed visit!
