If you are a solo traveler looking for authentic experiences as a New Yorker, Marta’s place is THE ONE for you. Located super convenient - practically less than 100m! - from two subway stations with multiple lines that basically get you anywhere in the city, especially the Atlantic Terminal is just around corner so you can go from and to the JFK airport effortlessly. The neighborhood is one of the quiet, secured and family-friendly areas in Brooklyn so it’s safe to walk around even after midnight (I know we all party late in this city that never sleeps!) . Marta is super warm and friendly, gave me all these tips about these wonderful hidden places that only the locals would know. The house is a stunning looking classic brownstone building and apartment is a lot more spacious and well lit than most of the rooms in Manhattan. Marta has great taste in decorating the place, with all the plants and frames it feels cozy and artsy. Trust me after a few days you’ll sincerely hope you could live here forever, just like how reluctant I was when my stay was over.
