A nice, cozy, typical Brooklyn basement with all the disadvantages of a wood - floor/ceiling to upper apartment. When I arrived it was clean and with many warm surprises. I enjoyed my time in this safe and friendly neighborhood. The subway station is 3 minutes away. Likewise, shopping for daily needs and various different cultural needs are just minutes walk away. I would come back anytime. Judy was very friendly and accommodating as were her family members and the other residents in the building. She was also very quick to respond to my questions.
