Jason's place is a great option if you're looking to do Brooklyn on a budget. It is a 15 minute walk (.7 miles) to the nearest subway station. There isn't anything around as far as bars/ food/ entertainment (though I am sure if you're willing to walk a bit, you can find something). Communication was great with the house manager, Nakicha. She was willing and eager to answer our questions whenever we had them. Thank you!
