Poppy is a gracious host and her house is an absolute joy to stay in. We felt right at home..but of course with the buzz of being in Brooklyn. The house is just a bus ride or short underground ride from Downtown Blooklyn, and conveniently located between 2 train stations. Which allows to select which part of Manhattan go to visit. All was smooth and easy to arrange with Poppy and I would strongly recommend this stay. I didn't stay out late at night but the area felt safe while I was there.
