John's place was surprisingly easy to find- just three lights from the Jackie Robinson Parkway (which was pretty in itself, driving into Brooklyn!)
Place was as described, matched photos, really quiet for a good's night sleep, short walks to two subway lines, neighborhood felt safe- and we were able to park right in front!
John was friendly and gave great recommendations, including Sonora Mexican restaurant RIGHT next door- which was perfect for 2 p.m. tacos and margaritas after a nine-hour drive.
Highly recommend, thanks John!
