Jewel's place is perfect for anyone looking to explore Brooklyn and New York generally. It's a short walk to Church Avenue, which can take you right into the heart of Manhatten, and just south of the beautiful Prospect Park. The place itself is lovely - the room is large, the bed is comfy, with space set aside in the shared kitchen and bathroom for your things. The ad mentions traffic from the road, but this was a minor inconvenience - I suppose it depends what you're used to. Overall, I had a great stay in NY and Jewel's place contributed to that.
