Mike and Monica were exceptional hosts, welcoming, accommodating, full of suggestions and a lot fun to hang out with. The apartment and the room were impecable and cozy. The neighborhood is full of cafes, restaurants, shops and anything else one might need without the Manhattan hustle. It's only a 15 min walk (an enjoyable walk I might add) to the L line (Bedford Station) in case one wants to cross over to Manhattan (try to avoid rush hours on the L line). The combination of gracious hosts, cozy place and a wonderful neighborhood make this a great option for both lone travelers and couples.
