We had a wonderful stay at The Lincoln! Althea is a warm and gracious host and was attentive to our needs and available for questions. The pictures are accurate and the tiny room, although small, was very cozy.The house is located about a block away from the subway at Nostrand and from there you can jump into the city very easily. The neighborhood was quiet and Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens were within walking distance. The farmer's market at the park entrance was wonderful and an unexpected plus. The kitchen is well appointed so we did most of our cooking at the house which can help when you are on a budget in NY. The neighborhood felt safe in the day, and like any big city, just be aware at night. It was interesting to see the restoration happening in this neighborhood and it can only get better! If I go back to Brooklyn, I'll definitely use The Lincoln....so very convenient :-)
