This is a good place to stay if you would like to visit Manhattan and NYC. We can recommend this to all persons that i) are able to learn NYC metro system (pretty easy) and commute to Manhattan, ii) need a place to stay close to airport and about 45-60 min from Manhattan, iii) are eager to see local lifestyle in Brooklyn. People in the area are mostly very friendly. They even greeted me when I went jogging in the morning. However, you can see people that have problems in their lives. Nevertheless, we recommend this warmly. If you need to stay in NYC area couple days and then head back to airport to rent a car, this is a unique place due to its location. Thank you!
