J and Lana's home is located in the charming and quiet Ditmas Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, a welcomed respite after a day of travel or touring in NYC. I felt genuinely welcomed by J as I walked in the door. He oriented me to the house and neighborhood and shared the history of the house and Ditmas Park. I found both J and Lana to be personable and welcoming and I felt that I was visiting with friendly neighbors rather than renting a room. They have a large, comfortable house and beautiful home. Although there were five people in the house, privacy was not a concern. The subway is a short walk from the house and when I spoke to people in the neighborhood the response was positive I would return to their place and next time bring my husband.
