The home is exactly as described. Omar was very accommodating and left special touches for our family. This was our first time to Brooklyn although we spent 90% of our time in Manhattan. We rode the subway everywhere with no issues (get the 7 day unlimited pass for $32 - totally worth it). We never felt unsafe and we visited the local grocery stores on our way home from the City every night. We were very disappointed in the cleanliness of the area (Brooklyn). We are from the City Beautiful (Orlando) and do not see trash on sidewalks, streets, and literally everywhere like we saw in Brooklyn. This may be normal for this area but it was foul to us. You could fill 10 large trash bags on your way from the house to the subway. If you are used to this, then this is a perfect house for traveling from Brooklyn to the City. This is no reflection on Omar's house, the city officials of Brooklyn should be ashamed of themselves for treating this area like a public trash can.
