Mary’s place is in a great location, close to the subway, right by the Brooklyn library and museum, and plenty of food options nearby. The curtain in the room is thin, though, so if you need a completely dark space to sleep use an eye mask (I had one that I brought with me from the plane ride over). I also noticed a clanging sound occasionally — I wasn’t sure if it was the heating pipes, or maybe something hitting the scaffolding outside (which Mary did mention to me in advance). I also had some earplugs from the plane, so no big deal :)
