Marks place is ideally located in Brooklyn if you want to explore the local area and also the island (not to mention avoiding traffic getting to JFK)!
There are tons of places to eat nearby and the metro is a short walk up the road.
The house is very spacious and well appointed and quiet at night.
Mark was very communicative in the run up to our break and throughout.
My wife and I, and our 3 kids had a great time.
