We loved Bernard's place and would certainly stay again. Location is great if you want to use Brooklyn as a cost-effective base (versus Manhattan) for a NYC visit. Safe, heavily gentrified neighborhood. Multiple easy to walk-to subway stations, including Brooklyn's largest (Atlantic Terminal). Several small and one large grocery store / market within easy walking distance as well. Oh....and I counted 36 restaurants/cafes within a 3 block walk! Bernard's place was very well stocked with kitchen and housewares. Great host....highly recommend!
