The apartment was functional and comfortable, the back yard space a bonus in the Brooklyn summer. Communication with hosts was perfect and provision for entrance worked well in their absence. The bottle of rose in the fridge was a fine gesture , we arrived very late , the information left about local eateries was very useful, Tom's Diner is an essential visit, simple Diner fair but a Brooklyn people watching institution. We loved the hood, a fantastic combination of local Brooklyn folk, very multicultural and very down to earth. The 1 and 2 tube entrance is just a very short walk and will take you anywhere you want to go.
