This is great if you are looking for a safe place to stay in Brooklyn that is private and close to the subway. This trip was our first to NYC and Sole kept in very good contact with us and gave clear instructions and was lovely to us even though we were late checking in :o easy to figure out the subway from this location and really was not a long ride at all although Brooklyn looks far on the map the subway makes it a quick journey to manhattan especially if you're not looking to pay unreasonable amounts to a hotel you will barely be at. Was very happy coming home to Sole's place every night but I think you'll find you will spend most of your time across the way although we did get off at Franklin Ave and found some delish eats right in Brooklyn thanks to Sole's recommendation. Great host, adorable apartment with great space for 2+ people. Thank you Sole!
