This was our 3rd stay at Marcus' place. It is very convenient for our visits to Brooklyn, but, in addition, Marcus is a friendly, communicative and flexible host. The apartment is spacious and clean. There are good places to eat nearby and the apartment is well equipped if you want to cook for yourself -- Key Foods is 3 blocks away and carries all the essentials, there is also a good vegetable market two blocks away. Train is 3 blocks. (These are all short NY blocks). We have stayed at other places in Brooklyn, but this is our first choice.
