Enjoyed a great trip to New York and am glad I had the opportunity to stay with Elma in this residential area of Brooklyn.
A pleasant apartment with good facilities. The bedroom is spacious and really clean, with a very comfortable bed, and overlooks a green garden space.
Elma is a straightforward and welcoming host.
Carroll Gardens is a lovely and interesting area of Brooklyn.
Good links via F and G trains to Manhattan. 29 minutes to Central Park if you plan to get the express subway.
Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge one evening was great.
JFK Airport to Elma's --- I would recommend checking out the AirTrain to Howard's Beach, the A train to Jay St-MetroTech Station and F train to Carroll Street for $7.75 .....then a 5 mins walk.
I certainly recommend a stay at Elma's if you're planning a trip to New York.
