Jude is a great and responsive host. The apartment is located in the heart of Flatbush which is a great location as there are a lot of restaurants and shops nearby. If you love Caribbean and Asian food especially, you will love this area! The neighbourhood is safe and peaceful, with very friendly neighbours. It is a reasonable distance to Manhattan depending where you want to go, the flat is very close to the 2 and 5 trains that will take you straight to manhattan. If you are noise sensitive, there is some noise as the apartment is on the ground floor and the bedroom is facing the sidewalk but it wasn’t bad. The apartment is beautiful and spotless and fully equipped with everything you would need for a long stay. Highly recommend.
