Jamal’s lovely apartment in this great old brownstone was the perfect home base for us while visiting Brooklyn & NYC. The neighborhood is lively & has lots of great dining within walking distance (check our Peaches HotHouse down the street and Palo Santo a 15 Uber away for some VERY tasty eats!), but the street itself is quiet & calm, which we really appreciated after busy days/evenings bustling around Manhattan. The apartment is surprisingly spacious & comfortably decorated with pretty much everything you’d need. We like to make breakfasts & eat a few meals in, and we found that easy to do here. Access to the subway was within a 10 min walk & very easy to get into the city; we’d say about 25 mins to the first stop in Manhattan. Jamal was a wonderful and available host, and we found communication was easy and effortless. We would highly recommend Jamal’s place to anyone looking for a comfy, accessible launch pad away from the rush of city but with easy access to the sights, sounds and tastes of Brooklyn, Manhattan and beyond. Thanks Jamal - we will definitely look you up next time we’re in town!! :)
