Althea and Edwin were really helpful with travel advice and local facilities information both before and during the visit. Very friendly and easy-going. The neighbourhood felt very safe and laid-back. Really close to subway and an easy ride to Manhattan or other parts of Brooklyn. Accommodation suited our family (2 adults + 2 teenagers); great bedrooms and enough space in the kitchen and living area. All clean and everything in working order. Would thoroughly recommend to other visitors who want to avoid the cost and hassle of staying in Manhattan. This was a great neighbourhood experience. There's more to New York than just Manhattan!
