Staying with JT and Tippy was a great experience and exceeded all expectations. First, their home is beautiful and has that "comfy, homey" feel that one certainly wants to have while...well, being away from home! Nearby are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. There also is a grocery store and a couple of pharmacy's also within walking distance too. JT and Tippy have a kitchen available exclusively for the guests so it was easy to cook. The subway station is less than a block a way so getting to and from the city was no trouble. Also, a very short subway ride takes you to a shopping center. The best part of the experience, however, was JT and Tippy. They are probably some of the nicest, most welcoming hosts one could ask for. It did not feel like we stepped into the home of people we've essentially never met. It felt like going to visit family we've known for many years. There were many times where we would just talk and "catch up" about our day. They were also very accommodating to any need we had. Truthfully, when it was time to go, it was a little sad because we grew so fond of JT and Tippy. Anyone who contemplates staying here will not be disappointed. We hope to find ourselves back in Brooklyn so we can stay with JT and Tippy again or at least stop by to say "hello".
