I had a great stay at Robin’s house. I didn’t get to meet her as she was on holidays but usually she lives there . However she was still readily contactable and helpful.
Her directions from the airport on how use the subway were precise and helpful. The house was easy to find and check in instructions were also precise and easy.
I found the neighborhood to be safe and friendly. That may not be your initial impression if you step off the train at night but that’s actually just Brooklyn. I walked around late at night and rode the subway home late without a single problem.
Robins place is also very close the J train which once you figure out the subway takes you pretty much anywhere you want to go in Brooklyn and Manhattan and straight down the j is Williamsburg with cool bars and the bridge
I would defiantly recommend a stay here !
