Has its own parking spot which is a huge plus in NYC. Close to subway (D line). About half-an-hour from DUMBO/Brooklyn Bridge, if you're driving (we were), so it takes a bit to get to Manhattan, but this is what you'll get at this price range. Beats the motel we spent our first night in hands down.
Jean was a great host. Gave clear instructions on parking, getting the key and getting in. All very smooth.
