Chantal and family are phenomenal hosts! Communication was prompt and all questions about the area were answered thoroughly.
Apartment is ground-level, a private good sized one bedroom with a full finished bath, and closets in the bedroom for storage. Very cozy, and a good place to rest your head after a day of sightseeing. We're pretty self-sufficient and didn't need much, but Chantal and her husband were in constant communication with us throughout our Thurs-Sunday stay in Brooklyn.
Neighborhood is Brownstones with enough hustle and bustle to remind you you're in the city (Take pictures of the blocks, and just explore). Very safe walking, and plenty of Markets/Deli's and eateries along the main streets to grab anything you could need. Definitely away from the "Rat-Race" and you will be able to sleep through the night peacefully.
Subway is a short walk away, and the C line from the Kingston station will take you into Manhattan in 1/2 hour. Just make sure to get the C Line back to Brooklyn at the 8th Street Station on the way back and get off at the Kingston station for the short walk back to the Apartment.
Uber's will arrive within 2-3 minutes to take you anywhere you need to go to in NYC.
Overall, a great lodging experience that I would recommend to other NYC travelers.
