First off, if you're over 6-feet tall, keep searching. It's a basement apartment space and I clocked my noggin a few too times on my way to the bathroom or bedroom. LOL! But if you set that aside, I will tell you that Fred and Joan are wonderful hosts. It's a good spot for a budget traveler. I slept well every night, made breakfast in their well stocked kitchen and walked the 10min to the subway for my daily journeys into Manhattan. If you're zipping around Brooklyn, you can grab an easy to find Revel electric scooter and roam around (Wear your helmet!) The neighborhood vibe is old family folks who've lived here for decades. I met some friendly neighbors and everyone was just welcoming. You'll be surrounded by a warm Muslim community and Irish, Latin and Asian families all mixed in that lovely NYC way it's just supposed to be. Thank you again to Fred & Joan for their hospitality.
