Shelley's place was my first airbnb stay. It definitely was very impressive. I love their home. I love the view as well. Great and comfy room. I enjoyed my stay in Brooklyn. It was also my first time in New York. Shelley gave directions how to get to the train station. Literally 10 min walk but I did see amazing murals on the way. Utica Ave (A/C train) was the nearest stop.
If you're interested on places to eat. Check out: Manny's, Rocco's Taco & Tequila restaurant, Junior's and Le Pain Quotidien.
